Do you mind if I ask you a question? If, for some personal reason, you prefer not to be too specific, that's ok.
You wrote: "If I had my druthers I'd stay right here in Canada, but Canadian immigration won't let my husband in, so I have no choice but to move to the US if I want to be with him, which obviously I do, or I wouldn't have married him

Do you mind telling us why immigration won't let your husband in?
I ask because I'm thinking of returning to Canada with my American husband, to live there permanently. He has his own income, would be selling his house to buy another up there, is healthy etc....But, you never know. I like to anticipate as many potential glitches as possible, before they happen.
Thanks! Julie
