Forgive me for saying this, but Canada is NO walk in the park when it comes to immigration. It is just as difficult to get into Canad the it is to get into anywhere else.
You do not need to register with the immigration office, only with the registry office who will automatically transmit your file to immigration. If they in turn have any questions about your right of free movement they will ask you to come in. If you are not gainfully employed (meaning you are worki...
Sounds about right. Except: do NOT leave his details out of your application, that will give you grief later when you apply for the EU-carta di soggiorno based on your spouse's sponsorhip of you. No need to leave out anything here. You are married and you need to indicate that, regardless of where h...
Your spouse is Canadian? She has lived in the UK? There are NO visa issues!!
Again, you are an EU citizen, she is your spouse> You and she have the same rights when moving to another EU state. No issues, none
The easiest thing to do would be for him to join you in Italy. If he is a worker (even if he isn't, in certain circumstances) he would exercise his EU treaty rights in Italy. Therefore you, as his wife, would also have those very same rights. I do not see how your present status, or eligibility for ...
This is really not a problem, or a difficult situation. The firts three months of stay you do not need anything except for valid passports and a marriage certificate. After that, all you have to prove is that you: either are a worker, part-time, f/t, or self employed, are self-sufficient (in this ca...
If he is a full Portuguese citizen that should be possible, as then he has a right to enter the UK.
Getting a Portuguese passport from the Portuguese embassy/consulate in the UK is only possible once he is considered a UK resident
Are any of you EU-citizens? If not, your wife will not be able to work in France, wether you have a student visa or not. Non-EU citizens need to find a company with a specific job-offer that is willing to sponsor them for a work visa. This will only be approved if no French or EU citizen can be foun...
you are right: at the time of application for PR you must have at least a temporary residence permit that is either the result of family reunification or an approved work-permit
Actually, times that one has resided in Germany on a student authorization as a third country national count only for 1/2 the time that is counted towards PR. So, if you have resided in Germany for 5 years on a residence permit for STUDENTS, then that would count only for 2 1/2 years towards PR (and...
It will be close to impossible to get an ordinary work permit anywhere in the EU at this point, unless an employer can prove that they are not finding an EU citizen for the job that the employer wants to hire you for. The EU is one labor market, so that it does not matter which EU member state you w...
Just because you are unemployed does not mean that you are not exercising treaty rights, especially if it is because you are pregnant. Again, you are an EU-citizen, that means you truly do have the right to live in France. It is a real citizenship with most of the rights and priviledges of a nationa...
Go to http://europa.eu to get specific info on rights of mobility for you and your husband. Search for the pertinent ones and print them out in English and French. Since your husband is American, go to the website of a French consulate in the US. There you will find, in English, how 3rd country nati...
Sounds like he is a "border- crosser" (Grenzgänger): living in Germany, but working "across the border" in Holland without any residency in Holland. I hope I understand this correctly. If this is correct, you should not have a problem with your German EU-residency
No, as a 3rd country national that is resident in the EU because of their EU-national spouse, you only have the right to remain in Germany together WITH your husband. If he lives and works primarily in Holland you cannot stay in Germany as a resident. You can, however, easily move to Holland from an...
I guess it is maybe time to remember that while we may be British, French, German, etc., etc., we are also EU citizens. This is an actual citizenship, not just some "Mickey-Mouse"-thing. This citizenship confers similar rights that a "normal" citizenship grants: right of residenc...
Exercisong treaty rights as an EU national means: working, looking for work, studying, being self-sufficient, but for the first three months also being physically present in the territory of a member state, WITHOUT any conditions attached to that stay for the first three months, is exercising treaty...
I have an EU passport (will never, ever give it up) and I live in the US.
The US is great for people with a lot of money, conversely, not so hot for people that actually work ordinary jobs.
As soon as I can I will move back to the EU....
You are right in the sense that there is no seperate work permit application, at least in some of the member states. But there is still the issue of having to go through a labour market evaluation as a third country national, even with EU-PR, if you want to work for someone as opposed to being self-...
Whether or not EU laws, directives and other legislation have been incorporated into national law is of secondary importance. After a certain deadline, if no national law has been enacted, the EU law will take immediate effect and is binding as written. EU law always takes precedence over national l...
