Is it as hard to get Canadian citizenship as it is to get American citizenship?
The answer from Brian Bi is pretty thorough, but given I also have researched the subject, I’d add that in the province of Quebec, if that is where you wish to reside, you will need to pass a French knowledge test, one which is very demanding, it’s administered by an independent French institute in Paris France. You see that Province has its own immigration ministry, laws and quotas. I know many citizens of that province would have a hard time passing the test, the TEFAQ.As for work visas, there are professions and technical jobs that are exempt from certain admissibility requirements such as labour market studies. If you are fortunate to have documentation and experience in those fields, you’re good to go for residency.Sponsoring spouses is virtually impossible when the sponsor is passed a certain age, and as a retired person I am painfully aware of this. The reasons for that are spelled out and some reasons not so much, but an ethical lawyer will tell you it is to avoid scams the Ministry of Immigration has come to realize were prevalent from certain countries.I am a dual American-Canadian citizen and I consulted with legal professionals and concluded if I was residing in the US instead of Canada, sponsoring my fiancé, given our specific backgrounds, history and her qualifications, she could have been admitted for residency immediately while she has a much longer waiting period for Canada, but those are specifics and Brian did cover that in his answer.Canada also has group/community sponsoring of immigrants, something that became better known and publicized in recent years. I recognize that given the benefits immigrants get in Canada, such as healthcare, it is not surprising the country has a tight review process.
Canadians, should I am American move to Canada?
So I'll go through your answers in order here... Is Canada a nice, fun and interesting place to live? Absolutely. But it depends where you are to hit all three of those things at the same time. You can get the urban feel living in cities like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. You can get a more outdoorsey feel by going any place more rural. If you want a little mix of both, give Halifax a try. Do Americans get treated well over there? Of course. Why wouldn't they? As long as you're not a jerk, you'll be fine. But that's pretty much a general rule for anyone coming from anywhere. Is it easy to move there as an immigrant? Depends. You'll need to check out the Immigration Canada website here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp Are you allowed to live here if you're not a citizen? Again it depends. If you have a work permit or a study permit, sure. There even a Temporary Resident Visa if you'll be in Canada for an extended period of time. But you'll need to check out the website. I've got American friends who're dual citizens because they married Canadians. Cold weather? Only really from October to March or April. July and August can get crazy hot depending on where you live. The rest of the time, it's really comfortable. But if you're expecting snow all the time, you may have to go to the Northwest Territories for that. Anyway, good luck in your decision!
Do an american green card holder need canadian visa?
You do not need a Canadian visa if you are a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States and if you are able to provide proof thereof. Proof can be provided by presenting: • a valid U.S. Permanent Resident Card • a Form I-688, U.S. Temporary Resident Card Ó annotated to indicate permanent residence in the United States; The annotation is a label affixed to the back of the card that bears the following text: "Temporary evidence of lawful admission for permanent residence and employment authorization. Valid for 1 year from the expiration date on the reverse of this I-688. Valid for travel outside the United States if the named bearer has not abandoned his or her residence and is returning after a temporary absence abroad not exceeding one year. Presentation of a valid document will authorize a transportation line to accept the named bearer on board for travel to the United States without liability under Section 273 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This card is void if altered, and must be carried at all times." • A temporary I-551 machine-readable immigrant visa (MRIV) bearing the statement: "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR" directly above the machine-readable zone, when contained in an unexpired passport and endorsed with an admission stamp, constitutes a temporary I-551, valid for one year from the date of endorsement on the admission stamp. http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/... .. Should you have left the United States for longer than a year your Green Card is no longer valid unless you hold a U.S. re-entry permit or a returning resident visa and the entry to Canada will be denied without a visa. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/... .. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/sin... ..
