It actually depends on your citizenship. If you hold a passport of one of the 36 countries which apply to the U.S. Visa Waiver Program you will just need to get an Arrival/Departure Record Form I-94W at the Canadian - U.S. land border at a fee of US$6.00. If you plan to take a flight the fee will be included in the flight ticket, however you will need to get a prior approval [ESTA] online free of charge at least three days prior to travel.. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/ .. Citizens who can make use of this program are passport holders of: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland. Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom. An e-passport with a microchip is required for citizen of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia, or South Korea. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html .. Special entry procedures [without visa] are also granted for passport holders of Bermuda. http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1260.html#4 .. Based on the Compact of Free Association Act passport holders of the Marshall Island, Micronesia, or Palau are also granted visa-free stay. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/Compacts_FS_021105.pdf .. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PalauFS21Jun07.pdf .. Passport holders of all other countries are required to obtain a prior visa to enter the United States. The visa application involves a fee of US$140; for certain countries an additional visa issue fee is levied bases on reciprocal visa fees for U.S. citizen. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciprocity/reciprocity_3272.html ..

You go the a church and say "I do". Than you file for a legal alien status which will over time become a permanent situation.
2 :
your GF would have to qualify to sponsor you to immigrate
3 :
The sponsorship information can be found at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp It's unlikely that your GF will be denied to sponsor if she is over 18, isn't on social assistance and doesn't have a criminal record. You will have to prove to immigration that the relationship is real though. Start collecting data. How did you meet, what souvenirs do you have of your relationship, trips taken together, photos etc. Do you have a joint lease, joint bank account, any joint bills. Do you have phone bills from the time you started dating. All this adds up. When sponsorship applications are denied, it's usually because immigration doesn't believe it's a real marriage. You will have 2 ways to apply for sponsorship called inland and outland. Inland is when you state that you are living in Canada and request your file to be processed in Canada. This actually takes longer and you are not advised to travel while it's in process. It may take you 1-2 years to get permanent residency this way. If you apply outland, you state yourself as officially not living in Canada and request your file to be processed in your homeland. If your student visa is issued for a 1 year or more, you can also ask for it to be processed where you live which is in Canada although they will then send it to the US since they don't process outland files in Canada. This method should get you PR within several months, see average times at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp
4 :
Go to sea by Canadian immigration authorities and ask for their advice.

Congratulations and welcome! You'll find it's a pretty cool city -- I've lived here all my life and I've got few complaints. The English page for Citizenship and Immigration Canada is located at the link below. You'll be looking for the section marked "Study" In Canada, Immigration is a federal department (although for the purposes of educational programmes and requirements you can divide the guidelines for study into Quebec and the rest of the country. I think the site outlines a few requirements, namely: - If you're a student then you should already have an idea of which institution you'll be attending, and (ideally) have already been accepted. If this is the case, then the institution's website may have resources to aid you in applying for a study permit and/or a student visa (after all, for them to get your money they really should help you to *arrive*) - Either a student visa or a study permit would be required to enter the country for your purposes. It does say that "If you are from the United States, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon or Greenland, you can apply at the point of entry when you arrive in Canada." That being said, however, they may wish for you to satisfy the requirements of a visitor / tourist for the duration of the application period (i.e. if you intend to stay for 8-10 weeks at a minimum, you should have enough money to support yourself for that length of time *and* be able to satisfy the Immigration people that you would be leaving either after the completion of your studies or after the end of your application processing, should it be rejected. It'll also mean having the rest of your travel documents in order, etc.) There is a section of the site (under Study --> How to apply --> Apply Online) where you can apply online (and, let's be fair, anything electronic is likely to be faster than a paper application) and that may be worth looking into. So have a look at the site, get all of your papers together, and we'll see you soon. Factoid: On a per-capita basis, Halifax has the highest density of universities per square kilometre of any city in North America. Coincidentally (or consequently -- whichever) it's reported to have the highest density of licensed drinking establishments.
2 :
Can't you get your student visa to be expedited somehow or get some type of temporary visa paperwork? If I were you I would not wait until reaching the border to sort this stuff out. The state of immigration nowadays where the most desirable countries to immigrate are tightening up their security and restrictions it would be wise to have your visa beforehand.
3 :
I think student visa is mandatory. But it would be better, if you seek of some advisor providing such services. Someone has mentioned Goldman Associates for a similar question.

Im a US med student and it is similar here but I heard it is even harder in Canada. They have a set number of residency spots available for international students. So you are competing with people from all over the world. That is why it is so difficult. The exams are hard and the system is designed to keep people out... only the best are allowed in. Now some good news is that the language barrier holds a lot of people back. So if you are fluent in English than you have a step up on many people. So yes it is possible but it is hard because there are so many people and so few spots.
