My sister married her husband in Las Vegas but they want to start their lives together in Canada. Can they wait in Canada for their Canadian paperwork, or work while in Canada? Can the kids go to school in Canada? Does she have to apply for a US visa to stay longer than 180 days while she waits for her family's paperwork?

Can my American husband work in Canada while waiting for his Canadian Permanent Residency? That depends on what category visa was used to apply for PR - family class inside Canada or family class outside Canada If it was inside Canada then he can stay in canada and will eventually be eligible to work on a work permit but not immediately. if it was outside canada then no he cannot work as he is not in Canada. Can they wait in Canada for their Canadian paperwork, or work while in Canada? YES but only if they apply as an inside application and he waits to be approved first. The first part of the application he is a visitor and as a visitor he cannot work. Part way through the processing, he will be approved for AIP (approval in principal) then he can get a work permit and work - but not before then. Can the kids go to school in Canada? YES but they MUST get a study permit first and if the schools charges fees (for foreign students - which they are allowed to do) then the parents must pay. Does she have to apply for a US visa to stay longer than 180 days while she waits for her family's paperwork? If she is staying in USA (and applying from outside of Canada) then yes of course she does!!!
