You don't require to obtain a visa to travel to canada as you are a US citizen.  And you can stay there for upto 6 months.  So you can live with her and just cross the border every 6 months until you get your citizenship papers in order.

Not sure if you mean Canadian immigrant visa or US immigrant visa. Canada is a bit quicker---probably 4 to 6 months.\n\nUS will take longer---probably one to two year if your husband not US citizen

If you get married overseas, there are certain things you must do to make sure that the United States is aware of and recognizes the marriage. The first source below has information on how to do this. Then you will likely want to be able to bring your spouse into the United States. The second source has information on how to do this. After being married 3 years, she can apply for citizenship.

If your spouse has family medical coverage through employment, I would think you could be covered under that policy upon your marriage.  Here's hoping that policy has good drug coverage - some policies don't. If that's not a possibility, then read on.  \n\nYou have some homework to do before you leave Canada and (I presume) lose your Canadian benefits.  The US program that you might eventually be eligible for is called Medicaid.  Each state administers its own Medicaid program and states may have some different rules although some Federal rules also apply.  \nTo illustrate this, I offer one passage quoted from the web page that I am giving you below:\n\n"For example, legal resident aliens and other qualified aliens who entered the United States on or after August 22, 1996 are ineligible for Medicaid for 5 years. Medicaid coverage for most aliens entering before that date and coverage for those eligible after the 5-year ban are State options..."\nhttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidGenInfo/03_TechnicalSummary.asp\n\nI interpret this to mean that you can't just move in and get benefits. It can be a very complicated matter.

To receive US citizenship through marriage, you must first get a green card (permanent residence), after two years have the conditions of permanent residence removed, and after one more year, if you have lived in the US continuously for 3 years or more with trips of no longer than 6 months, you can apply for citizenship.

I believe so.  I would call either the immagration office, or a lawyer that gives free advice.  They can tell you if there is any longer wait time, etc.

No, you will not have to move! When you first marry an American you will be granted conditional permanent residence! This is good for the first two years. After, you both file I-751 to remove the conditions on your status! This is a probation period to see if the marriage was entered in good faith! You can file this alone ONLY if the marriage ended by death of your spouse or abuse by your spouse! These are the only two exceptions to the law. Your full permanent residence will still be granted! You do however, will have to wait 5 years instead of 3 to apply for citizenship! In the mean time , you will be a lawful permanent resident(Green card ) Natural or accidental death of your spouse is no fault of your own!

You could start by taking a look at the official site:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/ (Citizenship and Immigration Canada).\nThere are many paths that you might take (including the marryage).\nHave fun and hope you'll get there.

You should really check with Canadian Immigration before you get married.  I don't believe just marrying her ensures that she can come.  It might depend on where she is immigrating from, whether she has a criminal record of any kind, ie, even so much as a DUI infraction.  I know a Canadian woman who married a man from Trinidad and she did eventually get him here but it took approximately 3 years.  Go to the Canadian Immigration website and check what it says there.  Also, might give them a call if you want to talk to someone there for further answers to your specific situation.

it depends on how long you have been with your partner,if you have only been together a few months then i wouldnt move,i would commute to see him/her.\nAsk your family what they think,get all the advice you can and think hard about it.\nMy mum and dad moved us all away to Canada when i was 10-15,it was a great ecperience but we missed out on grandparents,cousins,aunts and uncles so really think about it

I assume you mean Canada and not California. If you are applying as a skilled worker, it will likely take at least 18 months.
