you are much better off with a green card than a maple card; you are in the US now! just apply for their card and be happy.

Your question is not very clear. Are you a US citizen? Why are you moving to Canada, and why on a specific date without fulfilling any requirements?
Information on how to apply for Canadian immigration can be found at www.cic.gc.ca. Depending on your situation it could take anywhere from a few months to several years.
Good luck.

As a US citizen, you will need to fulfill all the same requirements for immigration as anyone else. I already gave you the website so you have all the information you need.
It doesn´t sound as though you will qualify for permanent residency, which leaves a spousal sponsorship as your other likely option. However, that is a big commitment--involves you being married of course, you must prove your relationship without a doubt and your husband will be responsible for you for 3 years after you immigrate. Again, it is a lengthy process. Ask others here; it is not simple or to be taken lightly.
There is no *simple* process for getting permanent residency. As an American you do not need a visitor visa to go to Canada, which you should know by now if you have visited before (you mention going "back and forth"); however you can stay for 6 months as a visitor. You cannot just "go" to Canada and decide to stay forever because you like a boy.
Immigration is an enormous undertaking. Do your research before trying to jump in.

It´s funny that there was no mention of love..marriage...just living together...be patient, see where things go..i am curious of your age???be really thankful you can visit each other and your not stuck in 2 countries where neither of you can enter into the other...that takes strength and love and patience...

Police Check for CA PR (in reply to: getting a PR card US or Canada?)
Hey there fellas, I am currently in process of getting my PR in Canada, my girlfriend and I have been together for a year and for the majority of it I have been coming to Canada to live with her without working. I have sacrificed a lot of savings to do so, have been splitting rent with her, been living together in what is basically a common law relationship. As a US citizen without a work visa, there have been difficulties obviously with my lack of ability to work, necessity to get back to the border to update my visitor status as it is always long term when I am here, and we are totally committed to eachother as almost 10 months of living together even with these difficulties has only allowed our relationship to flourish. I am applying as either common law or conjugal family class, I am undecided and will be talking about that with immigration tomorrow. I have all my forms completed, got my Swedish police certificate, and have my doctors appointment tomorrow. What I need now is the police certificate from America. I have only had one American address since I was 18 years old and am having difficulty understanding what I need to obtain for this criminal check and how to obtain it. The immigration website says to contact the FBI for background and fingerprint checking, which I did and ended up with nothing. They said that the FBI does not do public records nor do they finger print the public for things such as this, I was referred to my local police station - Who I have already called. So my question is this, What exactly do I need to tell Canada I was not a criminal while residing in the US and how do I obtain that information?
I would also love to hear about any family class immigration tips, facts, or heads ups that you may deem important to my situation.
Thanks so much in advance for any help, and sorry for the bump!
Cheers
