Is DCF available in Canada?

[AshleyJ 0]

I was wondering if DCF was available in Canada, I haven't really seen Canadians here or it being talked about as an option. Any information would be helpful! I tried looking through various links and forums on here, but perhaps I haven't looked hard enough. 

 

Thanks in advance for any information you guys may have!

DCF is NOT available in Canada. We just finished the process for a CR1 by USCIS -> NVC -> State Dept (US Consulate Montreal). It takes about 1 year and Montreal is the only place in Canada that conducts immigrant visa processing. Hope that answers your question!

You did answer my question! Thank you! I figured the CR1 or the K1 was the only route to go. Just wanted to see if there were other options. CR1 seems the most practical. I appreciate the answer!

No worries! Also, if it is extenuating circumstances I have heard that consulates are allowed to do DCF, but that does require like a true life or death emergency.
