ashenflowersFemaleCanada2009-04-17 22:33:00
Canadawhy did u choose to live in US instead of Canada?
My decision to go there seems obvious to me...

My future hubby is dual citizen. He actually grew up in Canada mostly, and spent 80% of his life in the city I live in now (we met when he was in town visiting mutual friends last year). His parents moved to California about 8 years ago, and last spring he decided to move there to join them, as he had had enough of this place... lol We hadn't met yet... obviously sad.gif or he might've stayed. But as it was, he sold most of his stuff, quit his job, and headed there... I'd feel horrible to make him backtrack after all that and return here to the place he left... but he's repeatedly said he would if he had to.
Jobs:
Now he has a great job that he likes, though doesn't make a whole lot of $... I has been given an offer to take over the business he works for in a couple years. I, on the other hand, am in a job that's leading nowhere, which I don't really like. Also, as a convenience of timing, my lease on my car is up at the end of October, so I won't have to worry about that.
AND his boss is also very supportive of us, and really likes my future hubby and doesn't want to lose him. lol So he's more willing to find me a job there, rather than lose my husband to moving back here. Having someone in a hiring position, who also knows other people in hiring positions with other companies is a great asset for me I think.
Family:
My brother (my only sibling) and his family (wife and 2 kids... nephew is 2 and a 1/2, and niece is not born yet, but due any time now!!) are moving to Cambodia later this year, so they won't be in Canada... my parents are quite possibly moving to Cambodia next year as well... so I will have no immediate family in Canada (though lots of aunts/uncles.. meh. lol).
He has no siblings, and his parents live in California as I mentioned, so we'll have that support system there (they are VERY supportive and welcoming). Though he left his friends to move there, and I'd be leaving my friends as well... we can always come back to visit. It'd be quite convenient to do so because we could visit many of the same friends at the same time, with only a few detours to see anyone we have outside of that circle of people. His parents own a cottage in Maine, so relatively speaking it's closer to Canada, and our friends on the way there.
Lifestyle:
The lifestyle in Southern California vs. Ontario.... sigh.. I don't even know if I have to explain that one.. lol Moving there was probably one of the best things he's done for himself in his life. I really can't wait to join him.

As for health care and maternity leave and all that... I don't think we're in a position where either of us would want children any time in the next 5 years, even though I'm already 28, and will be 29 by the time I move.
I'm in Ontario and I don't even have a family doctor, haven't visited the dentist in over 10 years, have switched jobs a lot so have only had health benefits for 2-3 years out of the last 8 years, and haven't even used them... I really haven't received much out of our health care system as it is... though I realize if there's ever an accident or emergency, I'll probably really wish I had access to a better, cheaper system should something happen... but it's just not something that really comes up in my regular life.

Plus, this way we're on our way to making me also a dual citizen, at which point, we can live wherever we want. lol

Actually, your children would still have Canadian citizenship claims as you were born in Canada. The new legislations means that if your children were born outside of Canada and had children born outside of Canada, their children would not have claims to Canadian citizenship. So - your grandchildren may not be Canadians but your children will be.


aahhh.. thanks for the clarification smile.gif

It also stops the previous practice of granting citizenship in perpetuity to children of Canadians born abroad, limiting eligibility to children of parents born in Canada."


That totally washes a big wave of questions for me!!! Now it sounds like my future children will not be Canadian citizens when they are born, even though my future husband and I are both Canadian citizens and I was born in Canada. My fiance was actually born in Holland, though he does not have Dutch citizenship... It's not really something I've put much thought into before, but I'd really love if my children could be Canadians (which is funny, as I'm moving to the US.. sigh.. oh well).

How does everyone else feel about this? I'm still a bit confused... lol!

Thanks so much!


You can get either the certified photocopy of the original or the "parental birth certificate", they just want to see your parent's info as well.

There's a "Parental Birth Certificate"?? Who knew??!!


It's new! and improved!

(well it's new anyway - since 2008) tongue_ss.gif - look it's got pretty leaves



Wow... look at all the pretty colors!!! wink.gif Much more "official" looking than the hand scribbled one my fiance' got last summer. He got the "long form" and didn't even know that THAT one existed. When, the "long form" is what we're used to in the US. I must admit, Canada has the US beat, hands down, on making dull boring forms look kinda cool.


We make our money look kinda cool too wink.gif lol


I also didn't know there was such a thing as a 'long form' birth certificate until this visa process. Are these available in Ontario too? I'll assume yes, because one would have to go to Toronto to get them. lol How long does the non-expedited process take?

Do a quick search, IIRC in March 2009 K1 visa holders are no longer work authorized even with the stamp - which they shouldn't give.


Maybe this is why K-1ers are having a hard time with EI, because of this change.

Could you specifically request a stamp at the POE? Would bringing a letter from a potential employer in the US encourage them to do so?

CanadaContemplating Divorce
QUOTE (Caladan @ May 10 2009, 01:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
From what you've said, it is *way* too soon to be contemplating divorce. You've been through a major trauma, and he's still dealing with homesickness. Either one of those is enough to put a ton of strain on a marriage. I agree with whoever it was that said his apparent anger at you is probably a mixture of frustration at the situation and his own inability to make it all better, and I think one thing you should do is get counseling for yourself (and maybe him, too), so that he isn't your only source of support.

Remember through all of this that you're both on the same side.


Excellent point... Couples should always be trying to work together towards a common goal, which is the health of their relationship. Blaming and attacking each other is not going to help anyone in the long run.
ashenflowersFemaleCanada2009-05-10 12:48:00
CanadaContemplating Divorce
.... Ok.. Perhaps one thing I can add, is just a comparable situation. The wildfires in Santa Barbara led to my fiance being evacuated from his home 2 days ago. He lives with his parents for the time being, and his mom was already out of town, but his dad was still there as well. The fires came VERY close to their home (within a mile and a 1/2, and fire was traveling FAST), and ash was snowing down on them like crazy. He even has a video of the police coming down their street and ordering everyone to evacuate via megaphone. You can imagine the terror I felt at seeing the pictures of smoke and ash and police and all that, from so far away. I felt SO helpless, and worried, and lost and alone... And that's not even close to what THEY must have felt in the midst of all that...
The worst feeling was not being able to be there with him. Not being able to help them, and be WITH him to know that he's ok...

We had planned for him to come visit me this coming Friday, the 15th.. but when all this was happening I started to, understandably I think, REALLY really want him to be here... NOW. I didn't want him anywhere near that situation, so I practically begged him to reschedule his flight and come here early. BUT... he was needed there, and I realized that. How SELFISH of me to ask him to leave his family to attend to my needs. Even once his father was safe at a family friends house, I knew, deep down, that he was still needed there. For support, to see how his house is doing, to help with clean up, and to just BE there... with his father, and his mom (who is coming back into California tomorrow to 'handle this as a family' as he put it, which kinda makes me feel even more disconnected....). Of course, knowing he was safe and the fires were starting to get under control, did help calm my fears a little bit.. but still. I'm here, and he's there, and it f'ing SUCKS in this situation more so than it already does.

Anyways... all that was, is trying to find some way to tell you that we can relate. There are times when we REALLY need our spouses or fiances or boyfriend/girlfriends, but we have to remember that they have friends and family who need them too. Your husband was really homesick, and missed all his friends and family. But guess what, they really really missed him too (which is evident in his mom buying the ticket). They need him as well, and he needs to be able to share some of his time with them, and have confidence in you that you will be able to be independent without him. Don't make him choose sides between you and them...

Everyone so far has already given you such fantastic advice. I don't feel like I can offer you anything further, that hasn't already been said. I'd just be redundant, as I agree with everyone basically. However, I just wanted to tell you to not give up. Don't give up and look for the easy way out, because there isn't one in your situation, and just getting a divorce would probably be more difficult than fixing your problems anyways. You, and your husband, can get through this. And you will, and it will be worth it.

I don't think we planned on being some dynamic duo, but we really have never had anything happen yet that would make one of us take off without the other for vacation or family reasons. I suppose if he wanted to go to Canada, he would make me go, even if I didn't want to lol.

I see why you would make this thread Trailmix. There has been a lot of odd discussion about marriage and immigration lately, and everyone sees the process in a very different light. For me it was engagement and marriage first, moving and immigration second. I'm so excited to marry the love of my life! Without sounding corny... I can't wait to be married, Its not a step I take lightly. So I answered option 2 for the first 2 questions and option 3 for the last. You need to respect your husband/wife space, and I think some of the American petitioners don't really realize the sacrifice that goes into moving half way around the world on a leap of faith.


Agreed... I find myself in a lucky situation, since my fiance DID make that sacrifice and transition last year, so he does know exactly what I'm going through (well, not exactly... he didn't have to do the whole immigration thing because he was already a U.S. citizen... lol). It helps
ashenflowersFemaleCanada2009-05-14 15:49:00
CanadaMarrying and being married
I don't think I'm able to answer #3 properly, because my situation with my fiancé is a bit unique I think, compared to most. He actually USED to live in Canada where I live, and we have quite a few mutual friends here now... unfortunately we didn't know each other when he did live here, and met after he moved to California... go figure. But I think I'd be really hurt if he decided to come back here for a visit without me, because I'd miss the chance to also visit some of my friends and family at the same time. Same with him... I'm sure he'd be sad if I came here to visit without him, and saw our mutual friends and left him behind... We've already discussed the possibility though, and have promised to always travel here together when we visit though, so that each of us has an equal chance to visit our old friends. I guess my answer would be 'umm... no'... and I'd be super suspicious if he wouldn't want to talk about it, because we talk about everything... lol
I dunno... it's weird... that situation would never come up with us... Maybe that sounds naive, but I truly don't think it would. We're spending so much time apart now though, since we're still at the long distance beginning of this process, it's hard to think about wanting to spend MORE time apart later...lol... but I know that 24/7 time together would make me go insane...

CanadaHow often to you get to see your fiance/spouse?
We talk every day for hours... usually via msn messenger and webcam.. we email each other while we're at work, and try talk on the phone for at least a little bit every night. We can only talk about 2.5 hours max on the phone, cause his phone only lasts that long before it dies, and we've killed it a few times... lol I loooove Vonage.

Weekends actually are when we talk the least, because that's the time we use to do other things, like... try to be social. laughing.gif But we still connect every day. I have no life now. lol We also mail things to each other once or twice a month. It's nice to have something physical that I know he held, or wrote, or whatever. He actually just received my latest package today, which was his birthday present smile.gif

We see each other every 2-4 months (from Jan-May was the longest stretch so far)... it really sucks. Though it's just between Canada - US, we're on opposite ends of the country, so it's costly to travel that far on a regular basis. It takes about 10-12 hours, via plane, to get there (with one or two stops, because there is no direct flight between here and there, since both the cities we live in are too small to have flights that go that far). I have no idea how long it takes to drive.. lol a few days or something.
I last saw him almost 3 weeks ago, and won't see him again until August 6th. sad.gif However, it will be for a whole month, which is our longest consecutive length of time together! I have to take a leave of absence from work to do that, but we really felt we needed it, to be able to spend some REAL time together, not just 'vacation' time. After that, I'm not sure when I'll see him again... we don't want to go a 4 month stretch without seeing each other, but it just might depend on when I can get an interview sad.gif

I'd much rather deal with bringing an extra suitcase later, than to try to bring one now and raise an issue, and get denied entry! I don't know what I'd do if that were to happen... it'd be hard for me to stay polite laughing.gif
