I am a U.S. citizen. My fiance is from eastern Europe. What are the chances of us immigrating to Canada considering:
1) We marry first. Currently we are living apart on different continents.
2) I scored above the 67 point qualifying level (I had 72), even without a job offer yet. A job offer would up this total.
3) I am a experienced teacher. She is an experienced casino dealer (speaks French and English).
4) I have close to $100,000 assets, no debt.
5) We are both upstanding citizens; no criminal record
6) She does have a 5 year ban from the US due to misrepresentation (she worked illegally on a visitor´s visa for a few days and denied it). She is well traveled and this is her only blight on her passport. Again, she has no criminal record.
7) Our impending marriage is legitimate, not one of convenience. We have a long and documented history.
8) No dependents for either of us.
Also, what would be the expected time frame to process visas and clear all paperwork?
Any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated from those in the know.

(in reply to: The chances and time frame?)
Hiya Ftroop,
In the first place good luck to both of you in this long run ....
The ideas below are jusy my opinion so you either take them or not....
1. Please check the CIC site and find a matching job that will go well with your current occupation, and as you have said if you get 67 points or more then apply for immigration...
2. As you can see the the process for application changes from country to country and from person to person, thus, we can easily see that the waiting time is short or long depending on the native country´s economic and politic power in the world... We can say that in countries where there are many applicants for immigration
such as India, Pakistan, China, and middle east and even eastern Europe the waiting time may takle between 2 and 5 years even more...
3. Since you are an American teacher and citizen this process will not take more than 2 years for you, even much shorter...
4. My suggestion to you will be apply for immigration on your own and then when you get PR then marry your gf and try to bring her as your spouse later.... If not a. your marriage will be difficult and you will spend a lot of time, money on the marriage, translation of documents, collection of all documents and translation of ´her´ documents etc... If you spend all that time and effort what will you do if the result is negative, ... And her being a member of an eastern world will for sure slow down your application....In short, your marriage to her at this moment will be no help to both of you but on the contrary just ,ore obstacles for both of you,...
5. Please read all the required documents for a Skilled Worker in the offical site of CIC and apply for immigration on your own, then when you get your PR, get married to her and try to bring her into Canada as your spouse...
All the information above is my opinion i am sure some other people will also express their thoughts so readall of them and do the best that applies and works for you ...
Welll good luck to both of you...
