Hi everyone, I wanted to start this thread to pass on some information regarding vaccinations and how to get confirmation that you have received them. At least in Canada for sure, thinking other countries would have the same if not similar procedures. I researched and made calls to Health Canada and my family doctor with regards to this. I live in Ontario, Canada and was born here so I have been required to have certain vaccinations done throughout my life. The unfortunate thing I came across was that I only had documentation from my baby book my parents kept for the ones I had when I was a baby. My family doctor informed me that I could simply have a blood test done that confirms that I have the vaccinations required for immigration. She has given me a copy of this document which is from Health Canada to bring to my medical exam when needed. I believe the proper name for the test is an Antibody Titer Test. Hope this helps anyone who has been wondering how to confirm past vaccinations. Good luck to everyone on this adventure we all share! 😊

Hi everyone, how are you?
I am super new here, so have a ton of questions. Trust me I've been researching non stop, but I'm just getting more and more confused.
 
I am a 21 year old Canadian female who is in a long distance relationship with a 31 year old American male who lives in Maryland, US.
 We are wanting to move me down there so we can start our life together permanently, but we aren't sure where to start or which visa to go with. Marriage/engagement is no problem, it's something we are both wanting and ready for. We were leaning towards the  k-1 visa as it seems to be the fastest process, but we are a bit confused with the mixed answers we've been reading. We want to go with whichever option allows us to be together during the process. We've read that to do the k-1 visa, he has to file for me while I'm in Canada, and I have to stay in Canada during the whole process until it is approved. Is that true? On one hand I'm also reading you can visit, but it's at the discretion of the officer to let you in or not.
So far I've only left Canada for 2 weeks out of the year so I still have visiting time left, correct? Would it be smart for us to just have me come back there and than look into and start a visa process? Were just looking into which ever visa allows us to be together and have a life together, with the least amount of time apart possible. We were lucky to find a best friend and love in each other as I know you all understand, so being away isn't easy.  I'm not working right now, and he is in the military which is why me moving to him is what were going with. That being said we are open to literally any process or visa out there. We would get married tomorrow if we had to. We were just thinking the K-1 because it looked the fastest, but if there's a better option out there or one where we don't have to be apart that would be amazing.
We just want to make sure we're doing it right as to not hinder the process. Thank you all so much!
