I apologize if this has already been asked before, but I couldn’t find a previous post.

    I see even with express entry I’d need to take a test to for my English proficiency.

    Guess this’ll be a long haul as I apply to jobs and make myself more appetizing.

      Yes, which is impossible to fail.

      As I said in a previous comment, it’s a pretty drawn-out process requiring financial stability, credit, health and background checks, proof of employment and education history, etc.

      It’s not difficult, just time-consuming, and I’d be very surprised if you and your wife didn’t meet the minimum points threshold.

          Oh, you’ll both need to be on the application, regardless. Unless you’re OK with a Zoom marriage.

          You might need to offer bribes.

      That’s what it looks like it? I kind of thought that applicants from certain nations can skip that, but it’s on the quiz, so maybe it’s different now. If you grew up in America you’ll have no problem scoring well, though.

      It’s crazy to me that we’re still preferable to other Western nations for immigration, somehow. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this, feel free to hit me up any time if you need help with something.

        The biggest influencer for me is proximity.

        I’d be more than thrilled for any mostly functioning government, Canada isn’t my only choice I’m looking at.
