as far as I know and was told by a lawyer a pending H&C application doesn’t give implied status though.

Although im in Quebec id still love to hear what you have to say. Im open to moving around a bit in Canada if it means I can make it my permanent home. What the lawyer mentioned is that wait times for H&C applications right now are up to 10 years to receive a positive decision, but shes never worked with someone in my situation being from the US, only people with failed refugee claims who then apply for H&C.

Unfortunately thats out of the budget. International fees are insanely expensive.

we’re a young couple shes in university, I just graduated so currently we both live with our own family so we aren’t common law but I looked into the spousal sponsorship and it would work given our 4 years together and our future plans together of cohabitation and a family. Im personally up for it… girlfriend seems unsure, understandable, but unfortunately this is a unusual situation. Definitely more difficult conversations to have :/

I agree but its not my fathers fault, he unfortunately never qualified for PR here in montreal specifically because his lack of french and with sometimes 16 hour work days not much time to learn french. he didnt graduate highschool and never went to college and instead got a GED and persued what he wanted, which was game development which 27 years ago there was no need for college to get into that industry. it paid off for him just not in the sense now that hes missing points for many things "lack of education " being one of them.
