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.

I was just wondering if anyone knows about Canadian immigration policy when it comes to American citizens. Any info would help. Thanks!
Jeez, no need to get all worked up. I was just curious…I’m not moving to Canada myself, but I see nothing wrong with people that do. They are a lot more progressive than us in many ways, and I admire that.

Canada grants easy visa to Saudi citizens. Canadian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia David Chatterson, has announced that multi-entry visas are being made available to Saudi nationals to visit the country for work or study an unlimited number of times for up to five years, rather than the 18 months that was previously allowed. As one of Canada’s significant trading partners, Saudi Arabia sends more than 8000 students to study in Canada with 2000 more expected to attend Canadian universities and colleges this year. Ambassador Chatterson stated, “The new visa regulations will greatly facilitate movement between our countries, promote better understanding and bolster our strong relationship. It will be easier for Saudis studying in Canada to travel back and forth and for Saudi business people to work with their Canadian partners.” What wonderful news! Many thanks, Ambassador Chatterson and Canada for your additional welcome extended to the Saudi people. May your nations blossom in shared fulfillment and friendship.
