Just a question? Not of big importance........just wondering.
 

Ok, so my fiance has dual citizenship. Canadian/Swiss.....(I am a US Citizen)....lives in Canada. So once we get married, live here in the U.S...........let's say after a couple of years we decide to move to Canada. Does that mean I have to go through all this again for me to live and work in Canada?

PS.............I live in the US, after re-reading my post, it looked like it may be confusing. Sorry

Canada has immigration requirements for Canadian spouses/immigrants as well, but I'm not sure what they are. There are forms for permanent residency, etc. but I don't know (sorry) how long the wait would be in Canada. At least you two could still be together in the U.S. during any waiting period! :D

Yes you will have to go through the same process. However, it is more Civilized and speedy compared to the K-1/K-3/AOS. All you have to do is to apply from the outside. It takes about 6-8 month to get your Landed Immigrant Status, so plan ahead. (if you are LUCKY, Healthy with clean background it might take 4-5 month).

My better half is in Canada, and I am thinking of doing the same thing. go to www.cic.gc.ca they have tons of info.

good luck

Thank you very much. I will check that out.

Note that if the poster does move to Canada, his wife will lose her
US permanent residency status, unless she has also become a US
citizen by that time. If she is just a permanent resident
(green card holder) and she loses her US status, then if they later
decide to move back from Canada to the US, they will have to
reapply for her to get a new green card by sponsoring her
through the INS as the spouse of a US citizen.

P.S. The poster's wife will remain a Canadian citizen even if
she naturalizes as a US citizen. Even though the US
naturalization oath has a renunciatory statement, it has
no legal weight under Canadian law and Canada will still
view her to be a Canadian.
