I read on the canadian governments website that you must live in Canada for 3 years before applying for citizenship... that means if I'm an American (sucks) I can live in canada without citizenship? Can I get my own place even though I'm an american? I'm considering moving to canada.
You probably were reading this http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/publications/howto-e.asp Try googling "Permanent resident"
nope. maybe someday I do hope to explore the country, as I've been all over the US...and don't want to stay here forever.
ya. sorry I didn't see the 'i will eventually' in the post above. I was going to edit it but you beat me to it. if you're going to explore you should skip two of alberta, manitoba, and saskatchewan, and only do one of the territories. i hear the n.w.t is where its at. once you get out east they're all one province anyway so you don't have to worry about planning there either.
interesting...why do you suggest these regions? I've been envisioning BC..but I've never been to canada so I have absolutely no idea.
Honestly? Cause nothing ever fucking happens in the prairies. Living here my whole life and all that is canada is bc (definitely hit up bc), alberta (stampede .. might as well be mardi gras), toronto, montreal, and newfoundland (screech anyone?). and the sexiest girl I ever met was from nwt. I only got to ding her a couple times. She laughed once. we didn't do it again after that.
I thought it was only 6 months. My friend lives here in Denver, but her mom is Canadian, and therefore my friend is a dual citizen. I think she is going to live in Canada for her final year of high school so she can become a full citizen and go to college as a full citizen the next year...did I get that right? In any event, I'm considering on going to college in Canada, too. I thought about taking a gap year and living in Toronto and Vancouver to gain either citizenship or dual citizenship, but is that possible? Is this a good idea?
I think at the end of the day it'd be wiser for you economically to work and save a bit of cash and become a student rather than become an international student, as international students pay up the wazoo. but then again I haven't really considered the loss in potential wage that you'd make in the time that it'd take you to become a canadizen if you had gone straight through as an international student. hmm. obviously I haven't put enough thought into responding appropriately. Disregard all of the above.
Well I only started thinking about a gap year this morning when I was talking to my Canuck friend. I've been thinking for a while about college in someplace like Toronto because I'm interested in pursuing a career in international broadcast journalism, and Toronto, being the international city that it is, may be a good starting place for that. I haven't fully looked into it, especially the cost, but I would love to go to school in Canada if I could.
is canada the only place your gonna go? or is there other places of this side of the world you whould like to go to like down south past the states good way to learn different things about cultures lots of history built on different places you go to and different ways a realizing stuff in different places on how places are built and ran from different types of taxes and so on Canada: lots of native americans in saskatchewan and manitoba i think manitoba has the largest in native american population and saskatchewan comes second but there spread all over the place you can probably find reserves all over the place here and dont ask why i am talking about native americans i just like to ramble on
^^^ I love the world and traveling. I've been to two dozen countries in just sixteen years on earth. I love seeing something different to what I see on a daily basis here in the States. That's why I'm interested in international journalism. The only thing about going to school outside of the continent is that it is probably much more expensive than Canada.
Yeah, you get your citizenship after being a permanent resident for so long. I would recommend going to a Canadian Consulate in your area or contacting Immigration Canada and asking how to move to Canada.
as a gringo living in Canada I adv you to get your dumb ass here asap. the green is plenty, the beer flows like wine and the girlies are hot to trot
