I’m gay American involved with a Bosnian. Any idea how we could emigrate to Canada sooner than later?

I met him while in Bosnia; we’ve been in a long-distance thing since I left. We’re both in our early 20s and, because immigration is only available to heterosexuals in the US, we’re unable to actually physically be together unless one of us has a student or work visa in either country…and while we’re both college-educated, that’s both unlikely and unstable.

We had both been looking at emigrating to Canada; the fact that we’d be able to be together legitimately sweetens the pot. I know that Canada officially supports “family reunification”, so does anyone know if there’s some way that one or both of us could become residents other than waiting the typical 4-5 years or having fake marriages?

Gift idea for someone emigrating to canada!! Not too expensive and slightly quirky!!?

Planning on pursuing a career as a Canadian Foreign Service Officer, is an anthropology major a good idea?

I’m currently planning on pursuing a career as a Canadian Foreign Service Officer. My goal is to work for Citizenship and Immigration Canada as an immigration officer. Is social/cultural anthropology a good idea for a major? I’m bilingual, so I wouldn’t minor in French, but would it be a good idea to minor in a different foreign language? If anthropology isn’t a good path to follow, then what discipline should I pursue that would benefit the chances I have of becoming an FSO. Any advice is appreciated.
