Subject: A CATEGORY FOR MY CIRCUMSTANCES DOESN'T EXIST?
  Question, I´ve been to the pages listed for immigration to Canada, but my financial circumstances don´t appear to be listed.

We derive our income from a California Indian casino which pays on a monthly basis. My husband being a Native American is the recipient.

How would that translate into a "work" category?

Thanks for any help.

It does and special one. (in reply to: A CATEGORY FOR MY CIRCUMSTANCES DOESN'T EXIST?)
I think Indians (in US and Canada) have right to freely move between both countries. All you need is indian registration. Contact canadian consulate for more details.

Here, Indian means natives in US and Canada.

The Jay Treaty covers this topic (in reply to: A CATEGORY FOR MY CIRCUMSTANCES DOESN'T EXIST?)
Canada and the USA have a international treaty, called the Jay Treaty, that allows for free movement of Aboriginal people across the border.

A person must have either a Canadian Government " Band Card " or a US Government Indian Bureau ID card, depending on which country they were born in.

You need to talk to the US Federal government, to find out if YOU, as his wife, are covered by the provisions of the Jay Treaty ? He can enter and live in Canada under the Jay Treaty, but I´m not sure about your rights, in this case. Check it out.

Lots of good information, thank you for taking the time to reply. He is registered with the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) in the U. S. so he´s covered, I´ll check with the consulate or try and find the provisions online.

Thanks again! Now if you could only tell me whats the "Best City" to live in in Canada that would be a triple bonus!! LOL, just kidding everybody has there own idea of "Best Place to Live!"

Well after reading this I think I should resort back to my original question:

"In the last ten years especially, there have been decisions from Canadian courts that appear to undermine, if not threaten to completely eliminate, the free passage rights of Indians guaranteed under the Jay Treaty.12 With U.S. law establishing a liberal treatment of the Jay Treaty free passage provision,13 the recent Canadian treatment has resulted in a potentially significant disparity in the free passage right: in the U.S., a Canadian Indian cannot be deported, not even for possession of heroin.14 However, to claim the free passage right in Canada, a U.S. Indian has to demonstrate a cultural or historical ?nexus? to the specific area in Canada he wishes to visit.15 In fact, this ?nexus? test even has been applied to Canadian Indians reentering Canada, disallowing Jay Treaty privileges where a Canadian Indian did not cross in an area his tribal group did not historically transverse.16 Further restriction, or complete elimination, of the Jay Treaty free passage right by the Canadian courts could result in nothing less than chaos for those native groups straddling the U.S.-Canadian border, such as the Okanogan/Colville group,17 as well as for any individual member of a native tribe seeking to exercise his free passage right."

Is there a circumstance where you are allowed to immigrate if you can show a substantial income which doesn´t involve a "job". We are paid on a monthly basis from the earnings of the tribal casino.
