Canadian PR to marry a US citizen

[ziared]

Hello,

I am a Canadian Permanent Resident and I landed in Canada on the 7th of July, 2010. I met my American fiance 4 months after I landed, on November 2010. We just got engaged this July 1st, 2012 and we are planning to settle in the states for good. We will start processing our papers soon through the K-1 Fiancee Visa(US). I would like to ask for help on the following concerns:

1.) Will I be able to keep my Canadian permanent resident status until I get my US citizenship?

2.) Am I going to be allowed to travel in and out of US or out and back to Canada while the sponsorship is processing?

3.) Am I going to be sent back to my country of origin while the sponsorship is processing?


There has not been any similar case as I have upon research. But I would like to make sure that loopholes are seen before we start the processing.

Thank you

1) You will be able to keep your PR status while you still meet the residency requirements, that is, you have stayed 730 days in Canada in your first 5 years as a PR and any 5 year period after that. Your PR card should come up for renewal in 2015. If you have at that point 730 days in Canada in the past 5 years, you can apply to renew your PR card for another 5 years. I do not know how long it takes to get US citizenship.

2) As a Canadian PR, you are allowed to enter Canada any time. Entering the US depends on your passport / visa status or green card status in the US.

3) I do not see who would send you back to your country and why.

Hi.

I m also a Canadian PR engaged to a US Citizen. I've lived in Canada for 11 years now. Moved here in May 4th 2008. Met my fiance online in 2018. We got engaged in November of 2018. Have been together 7 months now.
My fiance and I are planning to meet in the next few weeks for the first time. And planning to get married.
How do we go on about the paperwork for this?
Can I stay with him in the states while the paperwork is being processed without being deported back to Canada?
