Trying to keep options open

[Anthony and Becky 6]

Hi everyone,

I came into the States on a K-1 Visa last November and granted Permanent Resident Status in March of this year. We'd like to keep our options open as far as where we end up living (especially with the upcoming election here). So... does anyone what the process would be to get my wife (US Citizen) permission to move back to Canada (if that's what we decide to do) and be allowed to work there?

Thanks!

Anthony

I don't know all of the specifics, but I do know that your wife would not be able to work for almost a year until she received her Canadian residency, but she can move and live there with you while waiting.

There are a few discussion boards that are dedicated to immigrating to Canada. Here's links to two of them.

There are two ways to move to Canada. Outland and inland. Inland means the USC is applying from within Canada (kind of like adjusting status) and you have to apply for a separate work visa while waiting. Outland means the USC is applying from outside of Canada, like a CR1 visa for the USA. Outland is faster than inland I believe.

I realize you didn't ask but it seems a shame to waste the time and money spent on the GC, if you can hold on 2.5 more yrs...get your US Citizenship and then move back - you can both eventually be dual Citizens and give yourself options in the future.
