"I think right now Blake can only be here for 60 days before having to go back to Canada," Katie said, seemingly referring to how a Tourist Visa works.
"So we really do have a lot we have to look into -- and we just haven't yet -- before we can plan really anything else."
The Season 17 The Bachelorette star then asked her followers going through a similar situation to give her some advice.
"But I am curious, if you are dating somebody from another country -- whether Canadian to U.S., U.S. to Canadian -- I would love to know your experiences with that, in terms of all that fun legal stuff that we are holding off on," Katie said.
Katie, a Washington native, recently visited Blake in Toronto to explore his hometown.
Katie appeared to stay in Blake's country for about a week before flying back to Seattle and then heading to New York, where she is currently staying.
Katie expects Blake, a wildlife specialist who spends a lot of time in Africa, to join her in The Big Apple, and then Katie previously revealed on Instagram she'll be moving into a new San Diego, CA, apartment by herself on September 1.

A fan recently asked Katie on social media, "Why aren't you moving to Canada?"
Katie replied, "We are experiencing both home countries together before we plant roots anywhere officially."

Although Katie and Blake are clearly looking forward to the future together as a happily-engaged couple, Katie confirmed earlier this week on her Instagram Stories that she's not in a rush to wed.
When Katie's sister asked when she and Blake plan to get married, Katie posted her response on Instagram and she wrote in reply, "Not soon at all. He's Canadian... So we have a lot to work through first."
Katie recently admitted she was totally shocked by Blake's marriage proposal but is so glad that he chose to commit to her at the end of her The Bachelorette season.
"It's hard to say the impact of that in the real world, [if he didn't pop the question], because you go through so much and you want to take this very seriously -- and a proposal and engagement is very serious," Katie told Us.
"I didn't come here to find a boyfriend. I can do that on a dating app," she added. "So it's hard to say if we would have survived just as a dating couple."

Katie said her relationship with Blake is incredibly strong now that they've promised each other forever.

When Blake proposed marriage to Katie on The Bachelorette finale, he said being Katie's last man standing felt like a fairy-tale and they had a connection that initially seemed too good to be true.
"I know how great of a wife you're going to be and mother you're going to be. But I know there's things that scare you," Blake told Katie.
"I know that you in the past have talked about how you've had to compromise who you are to make relationships work, and I don't want you to do that. But I can't give you what you came her for."
"Because you deserve a lot more than that. You deserve the world, and I'm excited to support you and be there for you every day moving forward... Will you marry me?"
Katie shouted in reply, "Yes!"
