I've done a little research on my question, but I've found other
responses on this newsgroup to be much quicker (at times), so I'm going
to try this avenue.
I'm an Australian currently attending college in the US. I've respected
all the laws of the US in relation to my immigration status here,
however feel that my options for staying in the US after my studies may
not be the best solution for me.
I have a life partner (male) and he is a US Citizen. He currently
supplements my income from my on-campus employment so that I can
continue with my schooling.
I have approx. twelve months remaining on my degree, and I could
continue onto university, but I've been thinking that I could also do
this in Canada, and provide an opportunity to validate legally my
relationship through changes currently being undertaken in Canada, as
well as have the opportunity to work (I plan to run my own business).
My question is this. Can I apply for permanent residence to Canada
whilst completing my college education in the US, or do I have to apply
for that in Australia? If I get permanent residence in Canada, can my
partner retain his citizenship with the US, or would he have to apply as
my same-. partner?
I know these are newbie types of questions, but I appreciate any
advice/assistance some experienced readers out there may have to offer.
Regards,
James
