There are 2 separate paths you can choose:


(1) Family Class (outside processing), Spouse / Common-law Partner category, or


(2) Spouse / Common-law Partner in-Canada Class.





inside means you are together but he cannot work and you must support him while the application is in process. Part way through the process, he should be approved for the first stage. This means he can apply for an open work permit, a temporary SIN card and sometimes temporary health card (provinces have different rules about health). Then after some more processing (usually the background check) he is landed in Canada at a CIC office. He then gets a permanent SIN card and is free to work for whoever he likes. Current average is taking between 1 and 2 years . CIC take their time because you are already living together. (SIN=SSN)





Outside means he stays in USA and you stays in Canada and applies for him. You both have to fill out forms and send them to Mississauga and that office will send the required forms to Buffalo. From USA this can take between 6 and 12 months. The fastest I know of is 4 months but the application was perfect and there was NO problems in the background check.

FAQ
you can get married in the us or there. both nations recognize each others marriages. you can sponsor her in canada but i do not recommend it. try to sponsor while she in the us so in case they do not allow her life is not totally messed up. contact citizenship and immigration at www.cic.gc.ca and ask them they can mail you the forms for spousal immigration. the info is all on the site see family class. It can take from a year to 2 yrs. Total. Make sure she does not have any criminal record even minor as Cnd does not all that. She needs to apply for a US passport as well.





I was sponsored from the US to Canada as my spouse is Canadian. I will say this, there are a lot of Antiamericans in Cnd. I returned home mainly because of that. It is hard to live in a nation where the media and locals are always attacking your nation day in and day out.





have her read the info and at the site as well for newcomers as they call immigrants.
