Autumnal

TL;DR: You can have US-Canadian citizenship. Getting USC does not make you a non-Canadian.
1. Can I have dual citizenship: Yes. Canada recognizes any Canadian (born or naturalized) as a citizen, unless you revoke that status formally. The US does not deny your right to have Canadian citizenship if you are a naturalized USC.
2. You don't have to tell Canada anything. You carry your passport when you enter the country, and you're treated as a Canadian. Note that your ability to participate in federal elections is lost after being out of the country for 6+ years.
3. Taxes: You should ask the CRA for the most up-to-date information on the tax exemptions and treaty between the US and Canada. The international tax services office is at: 1-800-267-5177.
I file my federal income taxes in both Canada and the US. Because Canada and the US have tax treaties, you are not double taxed on income earned in one country you are resident in. If you're working in the US, you pay taxes on your American wages; you don't claim the same $55,000 in Canada. I believe there's a cap to this, but call the Canadian Revenue Agency and/or IRS to be absolutely sure. I've done this since 2006 without a hiccup.
If you have investments, property, and other sources of income in Canada, you have to file Canadian taxes on those normally. The Canadian government wants its share even if you're a non-resident. Those are questions best directed to a good tax professional or CPA.

(After talking to CRA, see the IRS information here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p901.pdf and for Canada/US: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/International-Businesses/Canada---Tax-Treaty-Documents).

If the Canadian has obtained the proper visa issued by the US Consulate officials after completing the necessary immigration application and paperwork, then he/she is allowed to import any personal property owned for more than a year duty-free. The Canadian has to be moving to the US, however, and not just leaving his/her property there. Automobiles must have a letter of compliance that the car meets the US safety and environmental standards issued by the manufacturer, along with a clear title that can be registered in the appropriate US state.
There does not seem to be a clear visa option available for Senior care, however, as the au pair visa is only allowed for looking after children and senior care is explicitly ineligible for the usual H1-B work visa. Without a proper visa that authorizes a foreigner to look after a senior, that would be considered illegal employment and a violation of immigration regulations.
A US citizen parent can sponsor an adult child under the family preference category but the number of these visas available each year are quite limited and as this is the lowest priority family preference category, there is a multi-year waiting list before such a visa becomes available. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f63da6c515083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=f63da6c515083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD
Quite honestly, under your circumstances, you can either sell off the furniture since you don't know if you will be returning to Canada within the 6 months, store it and pay the storage fees, or 'gift' it to your brother and pay the duty/import fees. Outside of electronics (TV, computers, etc.) since the items are used and according to you have a value of $1200, the duty shouldn't be a lot. You would probably pay more than the value of the items just in the moving costs.

Congratulations on the baby.
You are not the first Canadian to go south of the border to be with your significant other, discover something major, and have to decide whether or not you want to stay in the country or return to Canada. I'm one of that pack, and I know three other couples who were in the same position. Don't pay too much attention to the fearmongering about visa fraud at the moment. Pregnancy isn't something which comes along in a neat box, planned and dated.
Your first decision, and the biggest one: do you intend to go back to Canada or do you intend to stay in the US?
Go Back to Canada: Then follow the steps to get your K1 visa. You can visit the US freely as long as you declare honestly what you are. The upshot is that you can probably have the kid in Canada. On the other hand, you're going to be running around trying to do things while pregnant. This isn't easy if you're approaching your third trimester and it may be a toss up which happens first. Is convenience an issue? Can you get mat leave or afford to stay in Canada on your own? Note, once you've gone back to Canada, the "stay in the US and file inside option" is technically lost. You can't come back and apply from inside the US without technically violating visa fraud because you were intending to apply to stay.
Stay in the US:
If you want to stay with your SO in the US, then you are basically committing to marrying, and co-filing I-130 (Petition for Immigrant Spouse) and I-751 (Adjustment of Status - Visitor to Permanent Resident). Regardless of what anyone else may tell you, this is completely legal if you entered the US without intention of overstaying your tourist visa and you were planning on doing things "right." If you were having a vacation hanging out with your boyfriend/fiance to see if being in the US was for you, and you're not working or studying, that's not illegal. Pregnancy happens - this is a totally legit reason to get hitched now and move on the LPR application. Canadians don't require visas to cross the land border. We don't get entry stamps. Our path to permanent residency can happen from visitor.
If you decide to get married, put aside plans for something fancy and elaborate. Get yourselves to a courthouse or have a simple wedding as soon as possible! This is important. If you leave the indication that you were planning something big, you leave yourself open to an immigration officer questioning if this was a spur of the moment thing based on a positive pregnancy test or a gambit months in the making. You can do a nicer ceremony after. Priority for you two needs to be getting married asap, putting together the application, and applying for Advanced Parole as part of your petition. Advanced Parole will allow you to cross the border to Canada while your AOS is being processed. The California office is really quick compared to others, for what it's worth, so you may not have the year long slog it took me living in Chicago (central region = huge case load = sucky).
The headaches are basically all at the front end -- getting together the paperwork, filling out the forms, cobbling together the support affidavit, and evidence of marriage/legit relationship. But with help from your family on the other side of the border, as need be, it can be pretty straightforward. PM if you need suggestions or help and the VJ forums or forms aren't sufficient. I can provide insight. Second thing, if your spouse is working, you qualify for his health care coverage even if you are in immigration limbo from visitor to PR, because you're married. That insurance counts for you. You cannot work on your own until you get an approved EAD (employment authorization document) though, this is important to be aware of. APs and EADs come quickly, though; my timeline lists how fast I received them. Other people get them processed in a reasonable length of time.
It's a big decision and one you can't leave for several months. My ex and I ended up marrying about 6 weeks after he came back to the US because I (the Canadian citizen) got in a car accident that rattled us up enough to pursue marriage. So much for the off-semester trip to help him settle in and go back north across the border to do it the standard K1/CR-1 route! But it never impacted my ability to get my residency, conditional residency lifted, or my naturalization. The keys here -- prove you have a real relationship, which isn't hard to do; get settled on the route you want now; and show this was an unexpected change.

Are you sure you can't be added to his insurance while married? Most insurance companies do allow non-citizens to be added. You are a legal alien while your application is in process -- I had a nice long chat with Aetna about that when I first joined my husband's insurance plan as my immigration was in process. I didn't need a green card; we did, however, provide other useful information (notably the case number and my SSN) to demonstrate that I was legitimately in the country. A marriage should count as a qualifying event for him to add you to his plan, as well.

Immigration hearings are like jury duty: they trump most other appointments. It's one thing if your kid was going in for major surgery but for this, the dentist can bite the bullet.

Yes there are people that do it and have been getting away with it. I know a few years back BC was well aware of this (was in a CBC article) and it was costing the province many many millions of $$$$ each year. Not sure what they have done (if anything) to stop and remedy this type of fraud.

I am having 2 boys! Off to eat and celebrate!

This behaviour is fraud and part of the reason it's so difficult for legitimate people to immigrate and naturalize.

She needs to get the record showing her entry , but land trip most of the times they do not stamp , they just scan the passport, but they have the record o her entry,then she has to file a document called FOIA, ( Freedom of Information Act) to obtain copy of her entry.She has to email the CBP, she can do that online.
She must include arrival date, what City,name, date of birth, place of birth, address,phone number, her parents' name. She can notarize her signature or declare under penalty all information are correct. She can mail to:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
FOIA Division
90 K St. NE MS 1181
Washington, DC 20229-1181 or she can email them(advised to email them) http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/admin/fl/foia/ She can't forget to notarize the letter with her signature or draft a sworn declaration under penalty of perjury and then attached to the email.After 10 days they will send her an email saying her request was received and it will take a while for them to send her FOIA (4/6months). They won';t come to "get her" because she is filing FOIA, like many people thing, she will be fine. She will be able to stay here illegally , because you are a GC holder there is a wait list for a immigrant visa number become available for her, around 3 years until she gets the number she will be living here . Once you become Us Citizen she won;t have any problem to adjust her status since she can prove she was inspected when she entered in the USA.
If you have enough proof of bonafide marriage you will be able to naturalize without problem.

I just thought I'd briefly share our whirlwind experience. We packed hubby's stuff up in my car, drove from Toronto to Montreal the day before our interview to stay at a friend's north of town, had the interview at 8:30 on Tuesday morning (but we were in line around 6am - got C1)!. We finished there around 9am, and spent the rest of the day enjoying Montreal. On Wednesday morning we woke up to an email that Loomis had his visa but that it wasn't ready to pick up from the Dorval location yet. By 2pm we got tired of waiting for the status to change so we tried calling the central Loomis number to ask for the local Dorval number. The operator took our waybill # and checked on things for us and told us that even though it didn't say "Ready" in the system that it was in fact ready to pick up! So, we left Laval around 3pm, swung through Dorval to pick up his packet, and then continued south to the border. We POEd at the Champlain crossing around 5:30 pm. The guys there were totally relaxed, we were the only ones in secondary, and it all went very smoothly. We've stopped for the night and have about 10 more hours of driving tomorrow until we get home, but after all of that I only have one thing to say:

OMG, I can't believe that actually worked!
Now we're so happy that he's not just visiting and that we get to go home!!!

Well we just heard great news from NVC this morning that our case is complete!!!
And yes they sent us a checklist but the supervisor that was dealing with our case said to ignore it and that it wasn't relevant since we had a PCC already. The issue was confirming if whether the PCC they had on file for us met their requirements.
Less than a week starting from July 4th, 2013, here is a detailed breakdown of what happened:
When we first called to check the status of our case if whether the DS-260 supporting documents were reviewed or not, they told us they got everything except the PCC so we emailed it again per their instruction and called the next day to check the status. When we called, the first line reps kept telling us that we had to wait another 20 business days until the resent PCC would be reviewed and we just could not accept the unfairness of that. After persistently asking to speak to a supervisor, they finally transfered us to Julie (she was very helpful btw) to find that they actually had our PCC this whole time but it was unacceptable. The sad thing was, whoever reviewed our case failed to make a note for the first line reps that they actually received the PCC but it was not accepted and could have avoided emailing the PCC again. Getting back to speaking to Julie, she pulled up all the documents we sent and she then referred us to their website to read their specific instructions.(http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9013) So we read it while she was on the phone and also had our PCC in front of us and told her we did meet the requirements. She insisted that it should annotate CPIC on the certificate. She said that she will request the department that reviews cases to review it again but in the mean time try getting a PCC that annotates CPIC.
We called our local police first thing in the morning and stated exactly what NVC told us and they said after having us read the certificate to the rep at the police service center. She said it was the right and only kind they issued and that the National Criminal Records Repository which was annotated on our PCC uses the CPIC database and that their ONE entity. Also, if NVC wanted to confirm, she gave us a number they could call. So with that information, we called NVC immediately after to inform them of this new information we received from our local police and that there was no other PCC that they issue. So we requested we speak to a supervisor (initially, the first line rep said no, but we insisted and we got through to one) The supervisor said that Julie put in a request already and we have to wait 10-15 business days which we didn't buy because Julie said to call her Wednesday July 10th, after 4pm. So we gave her the updated information to pass on to Julie. We called NVC again later on in the evening to speak to Julie because she gets in after 4pm and when we did, she said that our PCC was in fact correct and will email the department that reviewed our case to fix the issue asap. We repeatedly said that our case could have been completed earlier if NVC hadn't overlooked their own guidelines for PCC and that it was completely their fault. We also asked if they could squeeze us in for an interview in August since we were told they were only booking for September since August was full.
After all said and done, we felt vindicated by hearing that our PCC was accepted this morning and our case was complete. We plan on calling Julie after 4pm today and pushing for an interview in August.
One thing we've had to learn sadly was that first line reps have limited information because those reviewing the cases don't pass on accurate and complete information to them. For that reason, it is imperative that you request to speak to a supervisor. If you have to persist then do so, or you'll just keep waiting for nothing and ultimately prolong your processing time.
Hope this helps.

We got a PCC from our local police station and it didn't annotate CPIC but rather the 'National Criminal Record Repository' and NVC is saying they won't accept it. But their own website gives the following instructions which we meet:
Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant's name and date of birth."
http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9013
For this reason we requested a supervisor review the our PCC again because according to the Toronto Police, the PCC they issued to us is standard for immigration purposes. They said that CPIC is a database that National Criminal Record Repository uses, so their one entity.

You'll save $5-10k, at the expense of your immigration status... Not really worth the tradeoff. You aren't a non resident.
You need to declare yourself as a permanent resident. Choosing non-resident indicates to USCIS that you might be abandoning your status, potentially, if you have an app in play. They'll also want to know why you didn't keep your immigration status as a PR.

If someone has basically been kept inside for 2 years in a new country, I think it is completely reasonable that that person has the faintest idea where they can go for help. All they might know is stuff from TV. Abused people don't think straight, and while everyone suggested she go talk to army people, she might have feared that the army people would harm her, tell her husband, or make trouble for her in another way. How can you expect an immigrant to understand what rights she has, when she is basically been forced to be an illegal alien by the person who brought her here? To her, it seems like papers appear out of thin air, police show up, she has no idea about the chain of command, what the next steps are, anything. The papers seem difficult to read, they are written in legalese. It took her a day to figure out what these last papers said.
To the OP's friends: Please look into filing a missing person's report. Check in with her son's teacher; she said they were friends.

Murysa,
I cannot tell if you just use casual speech or what, but sometimes it seems like you are not taking this seriously, though you do seem to be getting some help. I just want to give you encouragement, and also reiterate here what has been said, that you need to find additional, professional help. Please make a list of episodes, make documents, and work, with help, on building your case against him. You will have an uphill battle because of your arrests, so you need to counteract that with proof of his manipulation. You need to be on the ball and have a plan. Look up shelters, pro-bono lawyers, women's support groups, catholic charities, the people at his military base or wherever he works, etc and get some help. Also, if you are planning to file VAWA, I think this would be a good time. It's good that police are nice to you, but that alone will not win your case.

It's not necessary to be a citizen, I agree.
It's also not necessary to have sex.
Tell your husband that you from now on only do what's necessary, not anything more. Then inform him that from now on he can #### himself.

To become a citizen you will need a good grasp of English - be able to read and write in English and also to carry on a conversation in English.

The OP has come asking for specific advice about filing to adjust her status. She has shared some of the extenuating circumstances that relate to questions she has filling out the forms. Thank you to those who have taken the time to respond to Murysa's questions. For those of you who wish to challenge her veracity, please keep your comments to yourself. Visa Journey is supposed to be a forum to provide assistance and support, not to make judgmental personal attacks because you don't like the circumstances that have been presented. If there is a problem with the truth, USCIS is the appropriate one to determine this. I have read over this thread and I have no difficulty in believing the truth of Murysa's situation. Some of us would perhaps manage things differently if we were in her situation, but that's the thing, none of us are and the best assistance you can offer is to help her with her questions - or not post in this thread at all.
Any further negative, critical or judgmental comments will result in a thread ban for the poster. I am leaving this thread open as Murysa still appears to have some questions with which she needs assistance. So, either provide the requested assistance, or do not participate.

After reading all the posts, I am ready to give my "expert" opinion. I work for Legal Aid and I interview people who want our free services. They usually embellish their stories and part of my job is to get the truth our of them. Even though we are here to help them, they know that they are more likely to get the help is their story is appealing, even though they are actually creating a disservice to them by lying to us. The original poster is is the same situation.
The poster first said that the marriage was a "secret" and that husband did not want his CO to know about it. However, poster has military ID which means that husband did fill out the proper forms and has official told the Navy about wife.
Poster was been arrested twice, it seems for domestic violence. The police will not arrest some without some evidence, specially TWICE. Husband had to have scratches at least.
Poster claims that the whole world is against her and that her husband has this unbelievable power to convince everybody (the police, his CO, the doctor, the lawyer, etc.).
And her "I do/did not not enough English" excuse for nobody believing her is BS.
What does poster want really want? If she is so scare of husband, she can call the local shelter and her problems are solved. Well, at least the abuse problem. If all she wants is the green card VAWA is her best option. But don't sugar coat your story because you are doing yourself more harm than good.
I believe the truth is in the middle.

Not really the point here but neither Iran nor North Korea ever wanted to invade the US, there was never any "risk" of America speaking "Iranian" or "North Korean". Neither of which is a language, by the way. They speak Korean in North Korea and Persian, Azeri, Kurdish, etc. in Iran. *Sigh*

ok OP whats the deal here?? everyone gives you advice on what to do?? other ppl said already be honest on ur petition , so yes say u were arrested.
ppl gave you advice for what to do if you wanna leave. there are sooo many organizations you can go to ( and u have a computer so you can do sooo much research on it). you can call them send them emails they are really helpful.

so why u dont call and ask for more information and what choices you have.. and i never ever heard about a court taking the child away from the mother. they just do it under real hard circumstance. like if you are abusing ur child, are on drugs and stuff like that. so he has to proof to the court of law that u are not a fit mother. not the other way around.
im just curios do u want ur child to grow up in a hostel environment?? dont u want the best for ur child and happiness??
im going to be honest here with you. i dont believe you. cuz if you wanna stay with ur husband why u talking evil of him here then?? you said u have friends and they believe ur side, why they not helping u then??? if he didnt helped you to file the aos papers in 2 years he wont do that. u never thought about it earlier that he doesnt wanna help you. and u said he cheats on u and didnt care if u leave. so why should he care now and be worried you could leave when u have ur status. it doesnt make sense. he gives you a computer so he knows u can find out stuff bout ur situation. he lets u go out with friends and let u go the doctor alone with ur child. so u could leave any minute. again doesnt make sense. and really u not allowed to fly after the 8months of ur pregnancy. cuz the pressure can bring u in early labor. what airline let u on the plane???
i lived for some years in cali what base is he working for?? i have a lot of friends in the military and i easy could go and get some advice for you how the law is with military.
you wrote on one of ur post : I just hope I can fill all the papers and then have one of his friends around to show it to my husband and ask him to sign what he needs to sign. He will not say no to this in front of his friend. This is my secret plan.
so why u dont do that then. if you have already a secret plan??
im curios if u have any contact to his family??? if so they maybe they willing to help u with it.
you also wrote is hard to get to appointments with a lawyer , does it mean u went and saw a lawyer already or talked to one??
with ur english its fishy cuz in some post its so freaking perfect and that, u dont learn from watching tv and movies. and then in others u make simple mistakes with the grammar and spelling. strange dont u think???
this is a study who has been done by thomas and collin.
1. Students ages 8 to 11 years old with two to three years of native language education took five to seven years to test at grade level in English.
2. Students with little or no formal schooling who arrived in the United States before the age of 8 took 7 to 10 years to reach grade-level norms in English language literacy.
3.Students who were below grade level in their native language also took 7 to 10 years to reach the 50th percentile. Many of these students never reached grade-level norms.
These data held true regardless of the home language, country of origin, or socioeconomic status.
they did it on kids cuz the brain is more capable of learning new things and languages FASTER then from grown ups. if u not a freaking genius with an IQ of 150 to 200 or be a mensa genius.
i went to college in the states took professional english classes in school, i worked in the states b4 in a office where i had to use proper english, i had also, back in germany, for many years english classes. and still sometimes its hard to use the right grammar and spelling in the proper way. if u learned that good english from tv and movies u one for the books.
you also can apply alone without him for a SSN and can open a bank account alone with no GC in cali. all u need is ur visa , passport and ssn. u also can apply for a driver license without him. i have done it in cali in the past. u also can go and use the bus if u have to leave the house, since u have a computer u can check the schedule online.
why u dont just come forward and be honest?? ppl here still would help u.

I want to believe this OP is telling the truth, because it disgusts me that anyone would lie about getting abused.
However, a lot of their story fails to make any sense at all. I'm impressed with the level of English (even for a native English speaker, people make mistakes) she's shown with no education. I'm also confused as to why her husband is afraid for her to leave. If he was, you'd think he'd file the papers to get her to STAY.
Anyway. If it's true, she's gotten good advice here. It's up to her to take it.
