I am American, my boyfriend is Canadian. What are my options for moving to Ontario and working there?

Question

We lived together for 6 months in the US, and by the time I can move we will have been living apart for 6 months. I have a BA from an American university and also have relatives in Canada. I do not have a job lined up yet and do not know what the situation will be by the time I can move. When I move I need to be able to work legally. I have looked into sponsorship but I'm not sure if we qualify as common law or conjugal partners, and since he is a student he wouldn't meet the sponsor income qualifications. What are my options for visas? Any help would be greatly appreciated - all in the name of love! Thanks!

Answer 1

Do an online search for TN visa and see if your degree will qualify you for that. Otherwise marry the lad.

Answer 2

In the name of "Love", just go. Be happy. Don't forget to dress warmly.

Answer 3

you have 2 options:

1) Since you have relatives in Canada, they can sponsor you provided that you are under 22.

2) You can sponsor yourself under the Skilled worker category.  Since you have a college degree and presumably some work experience, you should have no trouble getting in.

Answer 4

u can get a green card or wat ever it is.. and put ur name in for canadian citizen .
