We did not get our visas approved in time to be able to move to Canada. We stretched it out as far as we could, to the point that we are now going to have to live with friends for about 2 weeks after we move out of our current house and before we can move into our new house.
We are sad, yes, but for my wife and I, this was always likely to end up with us having to come back to the US. And for my kids, they can still pursue residency in Canada (and they will have an easier time of it than we did).
So, we will do the best we can with the situation we have.

From what I've gathered you have explored all contingencies, and have a solid plan regardless too.
I'm curious to know about enforcement of overstayed visas. live long and prosper as best you can Jacque
Best wishes ahead

Don't give up. If the goal is worth it, try again, or another way. Meanwhile stay here and help fight the felon. I got it in the eyes Saturday. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
Sorry to hear that your plans got lunched.

I hope you have an easier time getting resettled into a new house and your kids into schools.
Sorry to hear it.

Perhaps a lesson for us all about the difficulty of moving to foreign countries and the rules and regulations involved in such moves.
