Please help before I end up in the ward with the soft walls

My fiance and I have decided we would like to live in Canada, she is Canadian I'm Australian.
We have been together for 6 years and have 3 kids, 2 with duel (cad-aus) citizenship 1 Australian

We have called the embassy 3 times and been given 3 different answers. We also spoke to an immigration "expert" who took all our information and then said he needs $2800 to take it further.

All I would like to know is

#What visa/s do I need to apply for to move to canada, start a business/work and get my PR/spouse visa

# can I move to and work in Canada under a visa while waiting for PR/spousal visa/s

#What type of visa do I need for my son (2yrs old) who only has aus passport but getting duel citizenship in Canada

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your partner needs to sponsor you for PR. Start here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp.

See if you qualify for an IEC work permit. If not, you will need to find an employer in Canada willing to go through the LMIA process; this is extremely hard to do. In the meantime, you can come to Canada as a visitor while waiting out the PR process.

From what you've said, your child is Canadian. There is no visa to apply for; you need to apply for his Certificate of Citizenship.

Thank you for your help.

Do you know if there is a way for me to work whilst waiting for the PR? I have purchased a small business but I don't know how much involvement I can have in it.

Again thank you.

There is no way for you to work unless you get a work permit. You really can't have anything to do with running the business.

Sydney is a fast office. Apply outland now and you will most likely be a PR in 6 months or so.
