HI, I wrote a couple of questions on here and Thaiguy was very kind in giving me some advise. I am going to Canada to get married on 12-22-07. My soon to be wife and I had made up our minds to do the incountry sponsorship. Money will not be a problem since she has a good job and I have a monthly income I get from the US. We had talked to a consultant several months ago and she thought our plans were a good idea. But within the past couple of days I have contacted a couple of attorney's and each has said we would be better off doing the process out of country. They each said it would be so much easier and quicker and if we used their service it would be around 1,500 and 2,000 dollars for them to help us. We were even told that it would be no problem for me to visit her in Canada for us to 6 mths at a time while the process is going on since I am from the US.
After reading the forums on here it sounds like the out of country is so much harder for everyone. (lost paperwork, years of waiting etc...) The part that scares us the most is so many people seem to get refused entry to Canada for a visit once the marriage has taken place. We love each other very much and would hate to be apart for a year or longer.
Would people be so kind as to give us their thoughts on in in-country vs out country? We are now just so confused.
Thanks in advance and my prayers are with those who are having difficut times. Cwolf241
PS: She is 45 and I am 50.
