So here's my story...
I am a U.S. citizen. Came to Canada back in 1984 on a school visa and lived with my grandparents. Graduated high school in 1998 and continued on to college. Student visa expired in 2001. By that time, I had been issued an SIN and started working, because it didn't have an expiration date. I guess you could say I fell through the cracks. In 2004, I gave birth to my daughter, whose father is Canadian. We split before she was born.
Fast forward to 2012, I was laid off from the job I was working at, and had just found out I was pregnant. I moved back to the U.S. so that I could get help from my family.
Now, the father of my 2nd child and I are getting married January 5th 2017. We want to make sure that we are able to live together, in Canada. We know that he would be sponsoring me under family class, but I'm not sure, with my history, if we should bother, or if he should try immigrating to the U.S. My daughter, who is now 12, lives with her father, in Ontario, and I would also like to be able to see her more often. Will any of these things play a factor in my case?
