I am a single mother of a 12yr old son, we are both american citizens, I have fallen in love with a canadian?
and would like to move to canada to start a life together. I do not plan on working for the first yr, however would like for my son to be able to attend school and receive health care. I have a place of residence in canada. but i do not know what else i will need. How can we become residents of canada? After my first year I would like to work, how does this process work? Cant seem to figure it out from the canadian consulate website. I dont qualify for skilled worker, and i want to reside not just visit canada. I would like to relocate as soon as possible. Should I just visit first and then try to get permanent residency? Should I hire a Canadian Immigration lawyer first? Please help, any information will be greatly appreciated.
I am not looking for free healthcare…I am looking to become a citizen so that my partner and I can start a life together as a family.
