What is the immigration laws for Montreal, Canada?

Question

if you live in US

Answer 1

If you're American or a USA Green Card holder, it helps but you must apply for permanent residency for Canada just like you have to do that to immigrate into the USA. If you are a skilled worker you may be able to get a work permit right away. If you're not interested to work in Canada, you can stay for 6 months as a visitor and then you can extend it for another 6 months.

Answer 2

You need either a study permit or a work visa. I used to go to Concordia University in Montreal, so I applied for the study permit. You can stay up to one year after you graduate to work if you desire. Other way to immigrate is if your spouse is Canadian.
