Hi there,
I'm a Canadian living in the US with my husband, who is a US citizen. We're looking to move to Montreal, and I've been trying to do the research we need. I'm wondering if the basic knowledge I have so far is correct: we could enter Canada without having to do paperwork beforehand, since US citizens do not need a visitor visa. Once in Canada, we could apply for him to become a Permanent Resident, with me as his sponsor, and then submit the undertaking applications needed for Quebec.
Work-wise, I'm still confused - I know there's a work permit you can apply for in Canada while you're waiting for permanent residency, but it's not applicable in QC, right? I'm unsure whether there's a work permit for QC specifically, or whether you need to find an employer who would then decide if they wanted to hire you and obtain a permit that way.
Any help would be much appreciated!
