| Originally posted by English Rachel Absolutely not, actually. Not for first generation applicants anyway. Familial immigration is a whole other story but don't confuse it with the hoops you have to jump through as a skilled worker. |

| Originally posted by English Rachel Congratulations Kristina, that's great news Just so you know though, it is actually 2 years from PR to Citizenship if you have lived here over 2 years prior xxx |
I moved here from Cyprus (a tiny speck of dust in Mediterranean), but I'm originally from Ukraine
Congrats, neighbour!

Kristina,
Congratulations! I am so happy for you ;-)
My parents applied for immigration about 20 years ago, and only 3 years ago I officially became a permanent resident. Canada is not that soft on lol
I do have to say though that compared to US, Canada is more flexible! I went to uni in the States for 5 years, and the only way for me to become a PR was either marry someone or find a job that would sponsor me. It's a lot of paperwork and hassle, and not too many employers really want to deal with it!
Back to the thread, Kristina, let me know if you will be doing any celebrations soon, I would love to catch up xoxo babe
yeah, i think if you move to small towns it's much easier to get PR and citizenship. because everyone wants to come to toronto, it gets much harder.
Congrats. How did the process start? Did you move to Canada on a temporary working visa first or something like that?

Thanks. I'd be tempted to look into moving there for work temporarily for around a year.
Grats! We'll become Canadians at the same time

thanks Robbie!
I've got a couple of years to my PR since it's been an cycle of turn around evernts with the wrong lawyers.
You were on a student visa here? Shit, you must be driving a Mercedes C class as well 
Congradulations, the feeling must be nothing other than excitement. I will have identical approach when I receive my PR.

I'm not loaded, well not really my parents just saved up enough over years to send me here I think the excitement peaked when I received the request for the medical I was jumping up and down like Tigr from Winnie the Pooh

| Originally posted by She_Fitz I get the joy of going through all of this over the next year.. I will be making the big move to our lovely neighbours to the south of us. It is all pretty daunting but I plan to try and handle much of the paper work myself... I never thought I would be an immigrant.. it feels weird to wrap my head around. lol |

| Originally posted by Abercrombie Let me know how that goes, I want to move to warmer weather, seriously... I grew up in VT for 1/2 my childhood, but would rather live in Arizona. |

| Originally posted by She_Fitz I have a bit of an advantage since it will come with marriage. Funky - I think most of the paper work is similar. Bobby has to fill out some forms and once they get approved then I have to apply for a visa. We need to interview and all that jazz... Once we get married in the US I will have to apply to switch my status from a visitor to a permanent resident. Time and patience is the biggest thing and cost. Each form and step is about $500 - $1000. |
as far as I hear, immigration under spousal class can be time consuming, be prepared to reveal your personal correspondence with your bf/fiance, etc
