Visa to Canada ASAP

[DeCol]

I'm a 17 yr old in the US, attending high school. I'll be 18 during my whole 12th year. My boyfriend lives in BC, and I want to move there as soon as I can.

I'm willing to either get a study permit or work permit after I graduate, and if I were to do that I would live with him for a year until I could be sponsored for common-law. I would also be willing to go there sooner than high school, if there is a way.

I have no certifications or work experience. I do, however, have a long history with tech. By the end of high school I'll have gotten C++ and Java credits (college credits) and the CompTIA ITF+ and CompTIA A+ certifications.

What would be the wisest way to go about moving to Canada?

My guess would be the study permit route after completing high school but be prepared to pay international fees of 15000-18000 CDN per year .

Your challenge as far as BC is concerned is that you would still be considered a minor until you are 19 which is age of majority in BC.

You should also make sure your bf is willing to take on the financial responsibility of a sponsorship. It is a big decision at such a young age.

Study permit is the only realistic option now. You will need to show a bank balance of at least $25,000 for the study permit to be approved to cover your tuition and living expenses.

There's really no chance of securing a work permit after just a high school education.
