if I am not mistaken... You need to actually have landed a job there before you can apply for a visa or work permit.  The company has to sponsor you.

you can apply for skilled worker immigration. Actually Canada tries to attract students that graduate there. As you probably know Canada has a point based immigration system.You'll actually receive bonus points for having completed your education in Canada and furthermore you'll be able to use some of the time you spent as a student towards your citizenship, thus, getting your Canadian citizenship faster.\n\nYou can also try the Alberta Provincial Nomination, it is faster ,however, you need a job offer before you can apply. If time is really short and you really want something fast (without a job offer), the Quebec provincial nomination (through the New York office) is the fastest (6-8 months) but you must speak some french.

Are you trying to bring him to visit or permanently ?\n\nYou have 3 options if you want to bring him permanently:\n\n1) He can apply under the skilled worker category (he gets points for having you there)\n2) you can sponsor him under the family immigration scheme.\n3) find him a job and he can get a work visa, in time he can apply for permanent residency.\n\nFirst 2 options will take 1-2 years. The last one is much faster.\n\nP.S. Tourist visas are rejected only if they suspect the person will try to remain illegally in Canada. Rejection rates are somewhere around 20-30% not 99!

Call the US Embassy and ask! With both parents being American Citizens, they can "sponsor" you. You should have no problems getting a "green card" and working here. Just do things "by the book" so that you don't have problems later.

There is a ton of information on the web (see link).  You can apply as a skilled worker, but it takes a lot of time.  If you are a US or Mexican citizen you may be able to get in quicker under the NAFTA rules if you find a job in Canada.

If you are a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old, you are eligible to petition to bring your parents to live and work permanently in the United States. \n\nIf you are a lawful permanent resident, you are not eligible to petition to bring your parents to live and work permanently in the United States

I am an American working for our State Department. I spent two years recently living and working in Canada with a foreigner work permit. I have helped friends in Bulgaria apply for immigration into Canada and read the on-line pop up ads that are everywhere you try to look for information. My advice is that it depends on your situation. If you speak and read English or French at near fluency levels, and you do not have a complicated exiting country problem, criminal record, family or health problems, then you should be able to read and understand the requirements as stated by the government websites. However, if you do not have confidence in your language skills or you do not have a native English or French speaker to help you through all the bureaucracy, then it is more appropriate for you to hire a immigration consultant or lawyer. Be careful either way, as there are many non-government sites portraying themselves as real official sites demanding money for the same thing you can do for no charge, and their are lots of people who will take your credit/debit card for money and never provide you a bit of service for the fee they collect. The best situation is if you know someone in Canada (which is a wonderful clean, safe, beautiful democratic and modern country with unlimited opportunities) who has recently immigrated then ask for their help and advice. Best wishes! Mike

Sorry you cannot get a work permit without having filed for your green card, or have a work visa, or have a employer sponsor you for a work visa. Whatever you do don't give up things will work out.

Since you are married, you will be filing an adjustment of status (form I-485, $325 fee) (also you will file an affidavit of support, form I-864, $70 fee), which is the path to conditional permanent residency for your wife. It does not matter that your wife is a student or not.\n\nOnce she gains conditional permanent residency, she will have legal presence and will automatically have the ability to work. \n\nHowever, if she wants to work before gaining permanent residency, there is a process to apply for an earlier Employment Authorization Document.

I can tell you 100% you are still an American citizen and you are also a Canadian citizen - you have dual citizenship.  You did not need a green card to go back to the USA to work.  You can freely live and work in either country and will never lose either citizenship unless you officially renounce either one to the government.  \n\nI know this is a fact.  I also was born in the USA with both of my parents being US citizens.  We moved to Canada when I was 10 years old and when I was 21 I took out Canadian citizenship.  I, too, thought that I had lost my American citizenship automatically at the time of becoming a Canadian citizen, until about 10 years later when I was travelling over the border to the USA from Canada and a US customs officer asked me my citizenship when I handed him my driver's license, my US birth certificate, and my Canadian naturalization certificate.  I told him I was Canadian.  He asked my why I said that, since I was born in the USA.  I told him that I thought I had automatically lost my US citizenship when I took my Canadian citizenship.  He told me that unless I have either renounced my American citizenship or have ever received a letter from the US government telling me that I am no longer an American citizen, then I am still American.  He told me to contact the US Embassy in Canada to enquire, but from now on he told me to claim only my US citizenship when I enter the USA.  He said the US does not recognize my Canadian citizenship and so I should only report that I am a US citizen when asked at the border in the future.  However, I need to hand both pieces of ID because they want to see what my status is in Canada, as well.  Ever since then, I hand both pieces of ID and my driver's license and when asked my citizenship, I say, US citizen, when travelling into the USA.  I never have any problem whatsoever and, in fact, I am told, "Ma'am, you can stay in the USA just as long as you want to!"  Ha!  In fact, at the time, I had my 2 children in the car with me who were both born in Canada.  The customs officer also told me to check with the US Embassy regarding them, as well, as they may also have US citizenship.  I did contact the Embassy.  They sent me forms to complete regarding my children and then they sent me a letter stating that my elder child also has US citizenship, based on the citizenship laws at the time of his birth; however, my younger child does not, based on the citizenship laws at the time of her birth.  As well, they sent me a letter stating that I was a US citizen, even though I also now had Canadian citizenship.  \n\nIt is very nice, actually, as you have the best of both worlds.  I never have a problem coming either way over the border and I travel back and forth a couple times a month.  \n\nSo, contact the US Embassy in Canada if you are in Canada now, or the US Immigration if you are presently in the US - they're in the phone book or you can look them up on the internet.  If you have children, also, check out their citizenship status.  If you do not have children yet, but plan to, as soon as they are born, whichever country they are born in, notify the other country of their birth to register it and they will have both citizenships, automatically.  I should have done this with both of my children at the time of their births but, because I didn't know this at the time, I didn't.  Now, my son just has to apply for his US passport and that is what will be his proof of his US citizenship, as he already has his Canadian birth certificate. \n\nThis is not necessarily the case with other countries in the world, but between Canada and the USA, you do not have to renounce one to have the other.  It is a wonderful thing and we are very fortunate.

Go to www.cic.gc.ca\nThat's the government website that deals with citizenship and immigration.\nYou will need to fill out an application, pay the fee, and then wait three to four years for your application to be processed.\nGood luck!

as a canadaian you a eligible for TN status (part of the NAFTA agreement). TN status enables you to work and live in the US. You must ,however, be a professional and find a job first. Once you have the job, you get a letter from the employer and simply proceed to the US border where the immigration official grants you the status. You do not have to go to the embassy, however, you must renew it every year (it's possible to make it permanent but very difficult).\n\nOther then the TN status you can apply thru the normal channels (just like any immigrant). Also you can spend 6 months (out of the year) as a turist but you can not work.

It depends on your status now.  If you are illegal, you need to get a work visa.  First step: you need a US citizen sponsor--a relative, spouse, etc.--then hire an immigration lawyer to help you petition Homeland Security for permission to continue to the the next step, which is (for Mexicans) to live in a Mexican border town that has a US consul until that consul issues or Denys your work visa.  You might be there 3 to 8 months.  If you are here legally, you must get a green card, if you have a green card you have to wait a bit over four years to apply for citizenship.

You may be an American citizen anywhere in the world.  \n\nHowever, what you are asking for is probably ILLEGAL.  That's why the consulate won't help her.  Neither will I.
