I am looking to find immigration lawyers for applying to Canada.  I have few questions, which I would appreciate if I could get answers to from anyone here.

 

1. I have been out of Status in US for few years. Does that affect in any way my going to Canada, as a student or a spouse?

 

2. If i dont have enough points to qualify for PR, I am thinking of getting married to my girlfriend, and going there under spouse visa. My gf is working in H1B visa here, and she will get PR relatively easily. Is it possible for me to go as her spouse.

 

3. Having been out of status, can i go directly from here to Canada if approved or do I have to go to Nepal to get my visa stamped.

 

Would appreciate very much if anyone who knows could provide some insights into those questions, and as my situation is somewhat complicated, I think it would be necessary to consult with a lawyer first. If anyone knows of good lawyers, that would help very much.

 

Thanks.
