How to immigrate to Canada? Lesbian couple seeking advice.?

As a binational same-sex couple in the U.S., immigration is hopeless. I can鈥檛 sponsor my spouse for permanent residency. Because her visa is expiring in about 1.5 years, we鈥檙e looking for other options. How would immigration to Canada work if we came as skilled workers? We both have college degrees, B.A. and M.A. (journalism and computer science). We have both worked for a couple of years part-time, but changed employers a couple of times. Would we be able to immigrate? How much are the costs?How to immigrate to Canada? Lesbian couple seeking advice.?
If you have skills in demand you are welcome up here!





Go to your local Canadian Embassy, or call the nearest one for information and an appointment to see where in Canada you would be best suited to immigrate to.





Starting now would be the best idea, it could be a close call with your partner's visa, and she most likely will have to immigrate separately from you, from the country of her birth. If that is dangerous to her life, then she may be able to enter under the Refugee Act, and work on citizenship once in Canada.





Study up on your Canadian history too! There's a test!





Good luck!How to immigrate to Canada? Lesbian couple seeking advice.?
Dear Madam,





My name is George. I work for a Canadian Immigration firm in Toronto. Let me try and help you out.





From your post, I gather neither you or your partner are Canadian Citizens. If either of you are then you can try a sponsorship.





The question really is how quickly do you want to come into Canada? Skilled worker is a possibility if your work experience can be counted. However, it can take up to two years or more to get a decision. If you have a job lined up, the process can be sped up. Therefore, my advise to you is to be open to acquiring a work permit and then, when both of you are in Canada, to start the process to change your status to permanent resident.





Take a look at: http://www.immigroup.com/canadian_immigr鈥?/a> and look at the many ways to come into Canada. You can look at a work permit, NAFTA visa, skilled worker, provincial nominee, and (if one of you is Canadian) sponsorship. The doors are open, you just have to decide which is the best to walk through.





If you have more questions, please feel free to call me at (416)962-2623





Kind Regards,


George Laczko.
I have attached the link to the Canadian Government website on Immigration to get you started. Good luck!
I was in the same situation as you. I finally was approved to come to Canada with my partner. He is from Colombia, I am from the US.





Send me a message and we can talk by e-mail if you want.
