Hi All
I'm just, at this point, in time looking for general information (having already looked through, and been somewhat confused by the CIC website).
The context is that I am a Canadian-born dual national (CAN/UK) who has been living in the UK for a loooooong time. My common-law partner of 15 years is a sole UK national.
We are trying to determine the most appropriate route for emmigration from the UK to Canada.
Leaving aside consideration like jobs, finances, etc (I know we will have to deal with that at some point down the line, but not just at this moment) it seems that we have two options:
1 - go through Family Sponsorship while in the UK, with me as sponsor and my partner as the sponsored person, and move to Canada once that is achieved, or
2 - I move to Canada, establish myself, my partner joins me as a tourist and then immediately applies for PR.
Any comments, advice, suggestions on the above?
