wanting to immigrate

[sonyanav1978]

My husband has a ten year ban to the United States for entering and staying over one year. We are currently in Mexico to remain a family. He has been here since May of 2017 when he was denied permanent residence to the United States at his consular interview. I have gone back and forth since December of 2017 with our two children. I am currently a student in my second semester of my first year with Fort Hays State University. I am also a former special education paraprofessional. What are our chances of immigrating to Canada, best route to take and how long do we have to wait because of his ban? The immigration violation is the only thing he has, was never in trouble other than that.

The immigration violation will not prevent him from immigrating to Canada as long as he's honest about his immigration history in his PR application. In terms of what your chances are of qualifying to immigrate, that's not something any of us can say since it depends on a number of factors including level of education, years of skilled work experience, age, language abilities, funds available to settle yourselves in Canada, etc. You'll need to dedicate time to researching Canada's immigration programs to understand what it takes to qualify and apply. I would recommend you start with the Express Entry program which is a points-based immigration program for skilled workers. You'll want to determine how many points you have to see what your chances are of being selected. Right now you need to have 440 or more points to be chosen - and one of you must also have at least one year of full time paid work experience in a skilled profession. As a family of four, you'll also need to demonstrate that you have at least $24K CAD in savings available to help you settle in Canada. More info below.

Can I have a family member show their accounts? We are currently in Mexico and have no checking or savings accounts.

No - you cannot. The funds must be in an account belonging to yourself and/or your husband.

You will need these funds to survive when you arrive in Canada and will most likely use them up in your first year here (or in less than a year) - so IRCC wants to see that they are in fact yours.
