Hi there. I have been dating my Canadian boyfriend for a year and a half and we are researching our options for moving to Canada. We want to get married a little later this year.
My questions are :
1.) How long does it take for the whole process to be complete after the application has been submitted? I know online it says 35 days for the first approval, and then 6-12 months for approval (if applying out-land). Can anyone give me their personal experience of whether this is accurate or not for a US citizen who is marrying a Canadian? Is it faster or slower?
2.) If I am living in the US, does it matter if we get married in Canada or in the US? Is one better than the other?
3.) I know you can apply Inland or Outland - do I have the option to chose which one? If so, which one is better and faster?
I'm trying to get all my research done so we can do this efficiently and fast! Seems like there are a lot of hoops to jump through. Any help you have is appreciated.
