Hello all,
My long-time boyfriend and I are extremely thankful for this website because everyone has shared very useful information. Without it we wouldn't even know where to begin.
Quick background on us: My boyfriend and I met online just by chance 7 years ago. He is from PA and I am from Ontario Canada. For the first year we just hit it off and had a connection. It just happened and wasn't expected. Neither of us were looking for a relationship but we are so happy that we found each other. The first couple years my boyfriend would drive up to visit me once a month and stay with my family and I. My boyfriend eventually moved up to Niagara Falls, NY so that we were closer and has been working there and has made a life there by himself. We've been visiting each other twice a week now for roughly 5 years and we are ready to take the next step. We decided that he would be moving to Canada with me since he has no relationship with his side of the family, and I have my entire life in Canada. My family and my friends all love him.
We feel a lot more comfortable with the process now that we have done some research, however, we feel a bit uncomfortable with one aspect. My boyfriend and I have a six year age difference. When we met, I was 15 and he was 21. Now with us both in our 20's and mentally and financially ready to marry, we just want to make sure that immigration wont have a problem with my age when we first met.
We will do the spousal sponsorship after getting married up here in Canada and we both have clean records and university educations and jobs. Despite our age difference, even when we were younger, he has been accepted into my family from the start.
We appreciate any helpful thoughts on the subject and thank you for reading!
