Marriage and Employment Green Card Options for Canadians


Canadian citizens are eligible for green cards through marriage, family, employment, or investment.

U.S. Green Cards for Canadians

U.S. permanent residency is commonly referred to as a green card. So if you are a green card holder, you are a permanent resident. The green card allows people to live, work and reside full-time in the United States. Canadians are generally eligible for green cards through one of the four methods:

For employment green cards, you must have a U.S. employer sponsor you.

For marriage green cards, you must have a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse sponsor you.

For family green cards, you must have a U.S. citizen parent, child or sibling sponsor you. Other relatives, such as aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, or grandparents, cannot sponsor you.
