US to Canada?

What are my options for permanently moving to Canada? There would be 3 moving. I'm 17, my father is 37 and my step-mom is 22?

What would be the best way?

Waiting lists are since the waiting lists are so long.

Anything is accepted. Thanks.

Options would be for your parents to apply for either skilled worker visas, or investor/entrepeneur.

Have your parents check out the options and information on the Canadian Immigration website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

And also maybe check out the community at http://roadtocanada.com/ and/or http://www.canadavisa.com/

Much thanks, I'll do that. Any way to find out approximate wait time?

The CIC has timelines posted in their website.

Wow over 2 years. seriously. thats a looooong time.

I have friends there, could you help a little with marriage sponsorship? lol Would it be any quicker?

Well, considering your parents are already married, how would that work?

And no, we do not condone illegal activity on this forum. Getting married just for the purpose of making immigration easier is illegal.

Well, I wouldn't say it would be solely for moving, I have a girlfriend there, but things haven't went any further, doesn't mean they won't.

I understand if you still cannot answer that.

If things ever did go any further and I were to marry, how long would it take for me to become a citizen and then after that how long would it take for family to also become citizens?

Thanks.

check out the other 2 forums I linked earlier. They're more about immigration than we are here.

The quickest way into Canada (by far) is to get a work permit. Check the Human Resources Canada site: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/home.shtml for information about labour certification. If your job falls into a an approved labour category and you have a valid job offer, it's pretty straightforward.

Alright, thanks for all your help!
