Ron- Our chances and Expected Time Frame

Post by Greg Effler »

I am a U.S. citizen. My fiance is from eastern Europe. What are the chances of us immigrating to Canada considering:

1) We marry first. Currently we are living apart on different continents.

2) I scored above the 67 point qualifying level (I had 72), even without a job offer yet. A job offer would up this total.

3) I am a experienced teacher. She is an experienced casino dealer (speaks French and English).

4) I have close to $100,000 assets, no debt.

5) We are both upstanding citizens; no criminal record

6) She does have a 5 year ban from the US due to misrepresentation (she worked illegally on a visitor's visa for a few days and denied it). She is well traveled and this is her only blight on her passport. Again, she has no criminal record.

7) Our impending marriage is legitimate, not one of convenience. We have a long and documented history.

8) No dependents for either of us.

Also, what would be the expected time frame to process visas and clear all paperwork?

Any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated from those in the know.

Hi Greg,

A quick reply:

1) Your chances of immigrating seem good.
2) The expected time to complete processing is 2 years +, this could be reduced in some circumstances.
