I live in Seattle and have a girlfriend that lives in Vancouver, BC. I go to visit her on a regular basis and it has come to a point where we would like to get married. I would like to move to Vancouver and stay there permanently. I have no desire to ever come back to the U.S. again and would like to renounce my American citizenship altogether once I am a citizen of Canada.
We plan to get married in November in BC.
I currently am on federal probation. I have 2 non violent misdemeanors from a few years ago and a felony charge that I am currently on probation for. The felony was possession of 15 or more access devices (fraud) and I served ten months starting Feb 06. I am paying off all of my fines this week and I have kept a job, not tested dirty or had any incidents while on probation. I plan on asking my probation officer to release me from probation at the one year mark (January) so I can move past all of this and start a family with the girl I have been seeing for years.
I have a Canadian bank account with my savings in it already and am applying for a SIN card. Will my convictions provide any problems in our being married and me having the chance to work there once I get there? I love everything about Canada and it is a dream of mine to be able to move there to be with the girl I love to start a family. I just hope my past transgressions wont create a problem with the path I have now chosen.
thank you.
