I have my 4 year honors degree in Cultural Anthropology. What other degrees would I need in order to be a counselor in Canada.
Can anyone recommend schools, or online programs. Thanks you!

In filing for a divorce, which country is best in way of options for children: America or Canada? I’m thinking in regards to parental responsibilities, child support and visiting rights, etc.

I want to hurt my spouse as little as possible. I don’t want any of his money, just a quick break.We have a house together, but no children. How much does an easy divorce like this cost in Canada?

I’m Canadian citizen. We’ve been talking online for 3 years. We met first time this year. Lived together 7 months: first 4 months in her country, then my tourist visa there expired, so we’re in Canada now. I hear after 6 months, we can extend her tourist Visa another 6 months.

We are open to marriage as an option. But it seems that even if we are married, it doesn’t mean she has permanent status. When her tourist visa expires she would have to leave. I’m tired of flying back and forth – flew 45,000km this year already. We want to settle down and have a place to call home, where neither of us is forced out because of tourist visa.

We’re living with my family in Ontario. I think in Ontario common-law status is 3 years living together…? She speaks fluent english.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks!

I am interested in getting my masters degree in Family and Relationship counseling, and have been looking at schools in Southern California. If I obtain my license from California, can I be a family and relationship counselor in Canada (where I am originally from)?

I got an arranged marriage at 20 years old. I have been married for two years. My husband was a very sweet person when I got married but things changed once he immigrated to Canada. He comes home late at night so that he doesn’t have to talk to me. We will be sitting in the same room and he’ll just stare sit on computer and pretend i’m not there. At 4 in the morning, I will wake up and see that he is still sitting on the computer chatting to his friends back home. When I ask him to eat, he will purposely say he is not hungry and wait for me to eat so he can eat by himself. In the past two years, we have gone out to see a movie once. He has never taken me out for dinner and blames that I’m too cheap to spend money so we can’t go out. He says he does not feel comfortable with my friends so we never go out anywhere together. He has made a lot of his own friends and chooses not to involve me with them. He says he has his own friends and I have mine and he’s not obligated to be a part of my social circle. My husband is always lying about everything and when he get caught he blames me because he says I would have over reacted if he told me the truth. My relationship with his parents is not that good and I’ve tried to please them as much as I can. They are always telling how getting married to me was a mistake and are always pretending to be in need to money. He then goes and sends them money without telling me and we are carrying a lot of debt because of that. I have been having serious health problems and had to go to emergency. In the waiting room, all he did was complain how long this was taking and how it was wasting his time. I told him its harder for me because I’m the one thats sick. He said well its easier for a sick person to sit in the hospital. Its difficult for healthy people to just sit around for so long. I just feel like he doesn’t care what happens to me. When I try to get him to spend time with me, he says I am too demanding. If I start crying while discussing our relationship, he says I’m trying to emotionally blackmail him. If I ask him why he married me, he says its because his parents told him to. He says he will never change and that I am responsible for the way he is. I’m afraid to have children because I feel like he will never be there for them. I sat down with him many times to try and fix things but he says he doesn’t see anything wrong with our relationship. If I try to get him to express his feelings he says he has nothing to say and that God didn’t give him this life so he could waste it all taking care of me. I’ve stopped asking him why he comes home so late. We just pass each other by and don’t talk. My parents and my friends are really worried about me because I’ve stopped leaving the house and have missed a month and half of lectures for university. I just don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried giving him space and time but I feel like thats pushed him away from me even more. He says if I want to get a divorce then its my choice but he won’t ever initiate it. Please give me some advice as how I should deal with this. I just don’t feel like I can take it anymore.

Are they about the same throughout Canada, or are the different provinces very different from each other?

Hi,

So, I went on this trip, and this guy and I had this really amazing connection. So after the 2 weeks were up, we tried to keep it going. The only thing is that we live like 6 hours apart (by plane). Our relationship is still going (it’s been about 2 months now), but I kind of want to break up. We really only talk over skype because he lives in Canada and I live in the US. I like him, but I think I’m a bit young to be in such a long distance relationship. I really have no idea how to break up with him but stay really close friends! How would you do this?

I live on the US, where the divorce rate is at least 50%. Married couples just seem to not be able to get along. I was just curious, what are the divorce rates in other countries, such as Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand?

I live in Canada and was wondering if anyone could answer this question. A friend of mine is leaving her husband and was wondering if she is liable for half of all his debt. All the credit cards and the mortgage are in his name but they acquired all of this debt while married. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
