HELP figure out move from America to Canada! Pregnant!

Post by kkappo24 » Fri Jan 17, 2014 11:46 pm

Hello, I am a 20 year old college student from Wisconsin. I am in desperate need of guidance and suggestions about my current situation and what are the next steps I should be taking. My fiance and I have been in a long distance relationship since fall 2011, he lives/works and was born and raised in Alberta. We have made trips back and forth to each other since February of last year. Ever since we made our relationship official back in 2011 we were planning on finding a way to move me to Alberta AFTER my graduation, but this past Christmas we have become pregnant :D , so we'd definitely like to make the move a little sooner now. What I would like to know is the process I would need to go through with our situation to be able to move in together. My biggest fear is staying here in the states throughout my pregnancy alone (I am 6.5 weeks at the moment). We are not married yet (as we were originally waiting for me to finish school) and we have not lived together continuously for any amount of time (also because I have been in school). Ideally we would LOVE for me to move in with him as soon as my spring semester is over (May 1), but I'm very concerned about not being able to have any type of health insurance for prenatal care in Alberta, I won't be able to work once I move there, and I don't want to have to worry about traveling back to the U.S. alone later in my pregnancy because I am not allowed to stay. He can not in anyway move to the U.S. or stay here for a long period of time with me due to the fact that he has shared custody of his 4 year old daughter. Is marriage something we should be considering within the next few months so my fiance can sponsor me? I know it will be stressful to plan a wedding on top of the pregnancy and figuring out online schooling options for next fall and work but we're willing to do whatever it takes so that we can share the rest of this pregnancy together :( . Please, any suggestions of what we should do would help. I have never been so overwhelmed and stressed and can't seem to find any answers that we need online because no one has been in our situation :x . Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

So then we should just apply as conjugal partners? Because from what I've read on other forums, as well as the application itself, we could possibly be turned away because we have had no "legitimate" barrier keeping us from marrying (like visas and such)....the only "legitimate" reason I have is that I was originally planning on waiting until AFTER I had my degree to get married...that's just the traditional way it's supposed to be done in my family...but seeing as our app just may be turned down because of what I value and tried to prioritize... I'm not sure if "Conjugal" sponsorship will even get us anywhere now... :( :x
