Thank you, I hope so too. Unfortunately we are on a K1 visa so when I leave Canada, I can't return. I also can't leave my 5 year old :). There is so much preparation we need to do to sell 2 homes. I could not do that in a matter of weeks or days. I always marvel at the stories of people that get approval one day and are on a flight the next (for those who are in AP). I think we are an odd K-1 case. We have been together for 10 years and live together here and have a very established life here. Will take some time to wrap up, unfortunately. In hindsight, we should have just married here and gone the spousal route, which would have given us the flexibility you describe. (I think?)
