Hi,
I know I'm not the only one facing these types of situations and I'm desperately looking for help! My husband and I (and out two young children) are looking to immigrate back to Canada.
I met my husband in Canada while I was attending college on a student visa, and we were planning on getting married and remaining there. Sadly, I had medical issues and needed to return to the states for immediate surgery. Long story short, I filed a K1 Fiance' Visa and in 2012 we were married.
It's always been our plan to get back to Canada as that is where all our family is. We've both been full time students in the states trying to get some type of degree, but upon further investigation my husband's degree will not transfer over to Canada and so its better for him to get his training in Canada (He's becoming a welder).
So now we have to figure out where to go from here. We're absolutely broke, but we don't want to continue getting into student loan debt for a education we can't even use in Canada. I honestly have no idea where to start.
Does he just apply for jobs and when he gets one start working? How does this all work? I know I need to fill out an Outland Sponsorship form but would it be better to file it when he has job prospects? What happens to his green card?
We're so stressed, and unsure of what to do any insight would be appreciated...
For clarification, my husband is a Canadian citizen with a 10 year green card, I am american, and our kids are dual citizens.
