Good Morning Guys,

 

a little bit about me. I immigrated/became a permanent resident to the United States about a year ago. My marriage is not going well at all. I seriously think it is going to fall apart. It has been really really hard and we tried everything to make it work but its nothing like an endless fight. I am A german citizen. Before we got married i lived in Canada. Since this is falling apart i would like to move back to Canada and was wondering how easy its gonna be. I know for a fact that it was always easy to move to Canada as a German whenever i had written Joboffers etc. Is there a way to immigrate faster now to the Country since i am a Resident of the United States? All info will be appreciated.

Americans who wish to enter Canada on a temporary basis also receive preferential treatment. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) facilitates the entry of Americans who wish to come to Canada to work or to establish/acquire a Canadian business. However, this does not extend to US residents - only US Citizens. If you haven't acquired citizenship, there, unfortunately, aren't special accommodations to help you move to Canada.

My question would be did you have Permanent Residence, Canadian citizenship or any type of Visa while you were in Canada? What your status in Canada was could determine whether you could move back.

 

I'm very sorry to hear you are having such difficulty. I would imagine that to be very hard and stressful.

As a US permanent resident, no.

If you were a US citizen, there are some special allowances made, but not in terms of processing speed since you want to LIVE in Canada, not just work there.

 

What was your legal status in Canada before/how long ago were you living there?
