Just as well you're going to marry Kim now once you find him as of course being Thailand you won't actually be married anyway even if you do ! ( sometimes Thai law isn't such a bad thing maybe ! :)
We'll worry about that if/when it comes. I'm sure I can get him to sign the papers now if I wanted. Before he refused, because he was worried about losing his permanent residency status. He's now officially pissed that away, because Canadian law stipulates permanent residents must reside within Canada 2 years out of every 5, and he hasn't done that.
Another thing that pisses me off. If I ever fall in love with someone decent, it's very unlikely I'll be able to bring them back to Canada. I'm pretty sure the Canadian government will only grant me one spousal sponsorship in this lifetime.
I doubt that that's true. In the USA there is no specific limit on how many times you can get legally married and bring your foreign spouse to the US for permanent residency.
However, you *must* be single or divorced to get married again.... obviously.... which was my point.
I'd get to work on getting the marriage annulled or divorce finalized now.... before you need to be single. Otherwise, when the time comes you want to bring a guy to Canada, it might take a very very long time to get it all done. Not to mention, having to explain to Immigration Officers why you have remained married for so long when there was no relationship.
you could always fall in love with a Canadian ....although I'm hearing they can be very demanding and put their pets first and are very selfish that way and stuff, I'm not sure where I heard that, i think I read it somewhere on the internet perhaps ! ? :-) ( joke :-)
If you read it on the internet..... then it *must* be true..... ;)
See, whilst I'm all for marriage equality etc this is SO why I've told my BF he can fuck right off that I'll not be getting married anytime soon / if ever as my god what a lot of drama and paperwork just to continue fucking the same person that you're already fucking !
he he and we're SO right back on topic too now ......."Alternatives to Western Union" - yes - a Thai Union - as it means fuck all legally which is GREAT depending on your needs ! :-)
Exactly! If it weren't for the *lack* of freedom in mobility and travel.... we would never need to get married legally. Just for immigration rights.... we are forced to get married legally. If my bf were an American, I would never marry him legally in a million years. The government has no business *licensing* personal relationships at all in the first place.
Have you ever been through it? For us at least, it took about 18 months, $8000 (we had a good lawyer), and about 6 inches of paperwork. Initial application was about 4 inches thick, and during the process we sent in two more sets of documentation about 1 inch thick each. Didn't get interviewed though.Quote:

Well, unless you're Syrian, then you get a free pass, which is really fucken cool in my opinion. I'm glad Harper is out of power.
