Subject: Canadian Citizen Marrying Illegal in USA
  Hello, my boyfriend and I have met online and have been been seeing each other for the last 2 years. Recently i went to the USA to visit him and i became engaged. I am a Canadian citizen 18 year old female and live in Canada, He is also 18 years old he is a peruvian national and holds a current valid peruvian passport . He came to the USA from Peru when he was only 3 years old so 15 years ago with his dad on a legal work visa which has since and long ago expired so they are now in the USA as illegal aliens.

We want to get married and start a living in canada together so i was wondering what is best course of action to get him to Canada so we can marry and start his paperwork or can and should we get married in the usa even though both we are not US citizen? Also, after marriage, can we apply for him to come to Canada even though he is not in his home country? As well, after putting the paperwork through, will he need to go back to Peru before coming to Canada or once the papers are through, can he come to Canada directly from the US? Much appreciated!

you have a couple of hurdles: but I will try and answer your questions first.

As a Canadian, you will need to sponsor him before he can come and live with you in Canada - that can take a year after you are legally married... perhaps longer if your file is complicated and be sure, your file will be complicated. It does not matter where you get married and it does not matter if he is not in his home country BUT he will have to provide US police clearances before Canada will consider your sponsorship application.

read, read, and read again -

Now, not sure what the legal age is in the US to get married. You might want to look into this.

Given your age, how you met and his personal circumstances it is critical that you prepare your file with extreme caution and if possible, with some professional help. It is not going to be easy.

Good luck.
