I believe it asks for the most recent year of tax info, unless the USC makes just above the poverty line and you send in 3 years to be safe. But in your case, I'm sure 2008 is sufficient. If you have all 3 years, you could send them all if it makes you feel "safer". Do not send in the original marriage cert, a good quality photocopy is enough.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-07-12 16:04:00

Canada	Visiting US After Noa2	QUOTE (tgorety @ Jul 26 2009, 08:17 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your NOA2 is a one-time entry visa. Once you come into the US you have to adjust status - apply for status, ssn, work permit and advance parol (travel permission). If you come to visit and leave you forfeit your NOA2. ???? That is not correct at all. The NOA2 is not the K-1, the K-1 is a one time entry visa.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-07-26 10:22:00
Canada	Can we get one more visit in?	No, a K-1 is a one-time only entry. A few people have asked at their interview if it's possible, and they were told no. Once the visa is in your passport, it must be activated the next time you enter. Saying that, I know a few people have tried and it's entirely up to the BG you get. They may let you through if you explain to them you're not activating it at that time, but they may not. I don't think it's worth the trouble of being turned away; the risk is high. You'd have to be willing to leave and go back if they tell you it must be activated at that time. The time between my interview and move date was over 4 months, so my fiance came to visit me the few times as I was unable to go there.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-07-26 21:34:00

Canada	Skilled immigrants fleeing the U.S.	This is rather interesting.... http://www.msnbc.msn...world_business/ Lured by the prospect of climbing to the top of his field, New Delhi native Swaroop Ganguly came to the U.S. 10 years ago and earned a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005. He became an expert in an emerging technology called spintronics, used to power semiconductors, and worked at several chip companies, including Freescale Semiconductor. But Ganguly, now 32, is moving back to India this summer. Although he has been doing postdoctoral work at the University of Texas, he figures his prospects for research and professional development are probably better in his home country. "I feel quite excited about going back," he says. Ganguly has already accepted a job as a professor of electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. The position will pay a fraction of the salary he had been earning in the private sector—about $15,000 compared with $100,000—but it will offer considerably more job security and the freedom to do the exploratory research he wants to do. "The real lure of being in the U.S. is to do really innovative work, but the space for that seems to be shrinking," he says. "The Indian government is putting a huge amount of funding into science and technology, so even if they can't pay high salaries, it's an attractive prospect." Ganguly is one of a number of highly skilled immigrants preparing to leave the U.S. as the nation's economy slows. With the U.S. unemployment rate approaching double digits, job opportunities are diminishing and calls to restrict immigration have gotten louder. Those who favor tightening the rules argue that U.S. citizens should get first priority for jobs. Cuts into tax revenues But the issue is tricky when it comes to the most educated and skilled immigrants — people like Ganguly. When well-paid individuals leave the country, that cuts into already depleted tax revenues for state and local governments. The departure of top talent in technology and science may also undercut the prospects for a recovery in the U.S., many economists say. These immigrants often start companies and come up with technological breakthroughs, creating new job opportunities for all. "We benefit from a flow of really smart people coming here to work in our companies and start new ones," says David Hart, a professor of public policy at George Mason University in Arlington, Va., who co-authored a study on immigrant entrepreneurship released this month. "It's important that the U.S. remain a magnet for people who fuel innovation and growth." The Obama Administration has said it will push for comprehensive immigration reform later this year, but it's unclear if any legislation will pass or how it would affect skilled immigrants. One unresolved issue is how to define a "skilled" immigrant. While many politicians would support policies to attract the most educated and highly paid, there is more controversy over foreign workers who come into the U.S. on H-1B visas, which require only a bachelor's degree and, in many cases, modest salaries. Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Senate immigration subcommittee, said in June that U.S. policy will aim to "encourage the world's best and brightest individuals to come to the U.S. and create the new technologies and businesses…but must discourage businesses from using our immigration laws as a means to obtain temporary and less expensive foreign labor." Advocates for skilled immigrants emphasize the value they create and warn against developing overly restrictive policies. Dr. Jan Vilcek, a professor of microbiology at New York University School of Medicine, defected from Czechoslovakia in 1964 and is now renowned in his field for treatments he developed for chronic illnesses such as Crohn's disease. He co-founded a New York-based nonprofit called the Vilcek Foundation to enhance the public profile of exceptional immigrants. "Foreign-born entrepreneurs and scientists are a tremendous asset to the U.S. economy," Vilcek says. "It is tragic that bureaucratic obstacles are preventing more talented and motivated people from helping to get us out of the economic slump." For now, economic woes — and to a lesser extent, immigration policies — are the most acute problem driving departures from the U.S. A study by Duke University professor and Harvard researcher Vivek Wadhwa, for example, found that among Chinese nationals who emigrated to the U.S. and later returned home, 72 percent said they thought professional opportunities were better in China. Among Indians who returned home, 56 percent said the same of their country. Wadhwa estimates that as many as 200,000 skilled workers from India and China will go home over the next five years, compared with roughly 100,000 over the past 20 years. "We're in a recession, and there is enough good talent now [in the U.S.], but long term, it will hurt like you won't believe," says Wadhwa, who is also a BusinessWeek.com columnist. "Losing critical talent means arming the U.S.'s competition. The next Google, Microsoft, or Apple could be launched in Shanghai or Bangalore." Kapil, a 33-year-old software consultant for IBM in Silicon Valley, shares Vilcek's frustration. (Kapil asked that his last name not be used out of concern for his job.) He joined IBM in 2001 with the hope of gaining permanent residency in the U.S. so he could ultimately start his own company. IBM filed an application for his green card for permanent residence in 2004, and he has yet to receive it. Due to limits that allow for just 9,800 green cards per year per country, the wait for people from India and China can be up to 10 years. Kapil estimates that his five-year wait could stretch into 7 or 10. In the meantime, he remains on an H-1B visa tied to IBM, where he must keep the same position to remain in the green card queue. 'Losing patience' He's earning six figures now, he says, but suspects he could earn more if he had the freedom to change jobs. "I'm not allowed to advance, and it's really frustrating," says Kapil. "At this point, I'm losing my patience." Kapil is eager to found a startup. He has developed the technology for an online job-search engine that taps into social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. He says he is considering launching it from India. "Most likely, I am heading back," he says. "In a way, I feel cheated. I've contributed, paid taxes, and even picked up a California accent. But it's not enough." Arun Kumar, 30, is also in the U.S. on an H-1B visa and is considering moving to Canada. Kumar, who lives just north of Philadelphia, works for a U.S. bank and is helping to develop a startup within the company. His employer, the name of which he asked not be used, put in his application for a green card last year. Kumar realizes that it could take years for his application to move through the queue, and he's growing restless to start his own business. He has the capital to launch his product, an educational tool to help sixth- to eighth-graders learn math and science. But he doesn't want to do so in the U.S. because assuming a new job or even changing titles within his own company would nullify his existing green card application. Kumar and his wife are now considering moving to Toronto, where they could more quickly become permanent residents. "I feel restricted here," says Kumar. "I understand the U.S. has a responsibility to its citizens, and I understand its dilemma. But the country would be better off if it could isolate and identify skilled workers who want to come here and build things and welcome them in."	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-07-27 16:07:00

Canada	I was reading this and thinking, is this not a waste of resources?	My hubby was arrested at age 18 for underage drinking.

And he doesn't have a record either. I didn't think anything of it really when he told me, as at age 18 in Quebec you can drink. It's not like he was 14 which I think is too young.

Canada	The Bachelorette	QUOTE (Kimbear @ May 19 2009, 12:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Sprailenes @ May 18 2009, 10:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't they get married at the end of the show?? Doesn't that mean immigrating with the intent to marry? that is exactly what i said when my niece turned it on..she was all ohh ahh at the guys etc... and i just said..ya know it's NOT that easy to marry an american..and then i got all grumpy and ####### lol. Well, we are all assuming she'll move to the US... maybe the chosen one will move to Canada!!!! That would be cool!	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-05-19 11:31:00
Canada	The Bachelorette	QUOTE (neiks @ May 19 2009, 12:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love Jillian, she reminds me so much of my best friend - who also has had many man issues in the past. I'm disappointed that there are no Canadian men though - what's with that? Me too, I thought there would be at least a few Canucks, I mean there was even a Brit! Which, by the way, why did the producers feel the need to put subtitles when the Brit spoke? Ummm he was speaking English!	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-05-19 11:27:00

Not because of her nationality, but because she just rocked and how my wife and I enjoyed laughing at her accent. I have it taped though so will watch it this week sometime... Me too, I love her! I laughed because she did say EH a few times, and I noticed abOOT Hah! we were lauughing about her accent too! When my husband and I first started dating, we would watch Battlestar Galactica together, and my husband kept going on and on about Colonel Tye's canadian accent, and I was always "what are you talking aboot??" And he'd laugh even more. But now I guess I've been away from Canada long enough that I can totally hear Jillian's accent! Makes me a little homesick! Although all the shots of my hometown Vancouver with the the low-hanging rain clouds and grey perma-drizzle cured me pretty quick! Me too! It bothers me that I notice EH and aboot, when I would never have before! Also my husband said I say eh less and less, I don't want to conform	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-05-19 11:21:00
