can i immigrate to canada if I am in the united states illegally

[ninocalifa]

you have been in the US for over 6 months i would imagine
hence  CIO is going to request a PCC from america

ur best bet may be to marry ur current US citizen, wait for a year and then apply for PR.
after which you could make the transistion easily.
even from within canada

Good luck

I dont know if you replied to me, but if you did, I cannot do that. Like I said, I have a court appearance. I can appeal as long as I need, but my chances of winning are minimal.
My only hope would be to get a VISA to Canada before this process is complete.
I dont know my options here, that is why I would like a more detailed answer.

Sorry Nino,

I Police Certificate is a must to immigrate to canada
so I think you will have a major hurdle on getting one from the USA.

Really dont know how best to get out of that............

Good Luck

A police Certificate is not a problem, because I am not a criminal and my fight is strictly with the immigration.
So I can be cleared by the Police no problem.
My question is about my immigration status.

If by "caught at the border" you mean "I was illegally entering between ports of entry and got arrested by the good folks at US Border Patrol", then you may be inadmissible to Canada.

All depends on what (if anything) you were charged with and convicted of. Canada does not look kindly on people who abuse other countried Immigration systems. If you don't respect them, why would you respect us?

Cross the US border is an fault inmigrational not is a crime.Dont be ridiculous!!.
I thought that was Canada was a sovereign and autonomous country..

but I think it is not
, but more seems to be a servant of U.S. o maybe canada is the state number 52!!

Hi guys,

Here's my situation, im from Guyana and living in the states for the last 8 yrs now. I came here with someone else visa (backtrack).I went back to high school, graduated and now im in college working on my BS in Social work with only a yr left to complete. I don't have a criminal record in the US or have any minor runings with the law.

I met my boyfriend last August and we're looking to get marry by next yr.He's a Canadian by birth and lives in Montreal. He have a good job and don't have a criminal record.This will be our first marriage for both of us and we both don't have kids from any previous relationship.

We're in the process in contacting lawyers and we're told that our case will be handle in Port of Spain. We're scared if i get call for an interview and get deny, then i have to go back to Guyana,which we don't want.

Please help, any info will be greatly appreciated.
