Canadian PR holder marries an illegal alien from USA

Post Wed Nov 02, 2011 3:56 pm

Hi !
I need your advice.
I'm a PR holder in Canada.
My boyfriend is staying in USA now and he overstayed his J-1 visa (4 years already)
The question is :
Can we get married in Las Vegas let's say,and then I'll go back to Canada and then i will start a sponsorhip for him?
Will really appreciate any opinions.
Thank you in advance

This will work, as long as he stays in US (or leaves and does not try to return).

But realize that he will be barred from entering US for 10 years when he leaves, so take a good look at US when you are down there as this will be the last time you visit as a couple.

lol

Huh? Cdns get 10-year bans too. Getting a differnt passport will not remove the ban.

Consider yourself corrected.

Thank you very much Angelson.
i was confused a lot, cause lots of people are keep telling me not even to start this...
if he overstayed in USA he is not good for Canada...Will the overstay cause problems during the sponsorship?
may be someone knows how long does it take to now the sponsorship when from USA to Canada

For canada's sake I hope so, and for your sake I hope you listen to those "lots of people"
