Becoming a Canadian Citizen?
I would like to become a Canadian Citizen at the age of 17, but as I've read on their website for that, you can't move there and become a citizen unless your parent/guardian is becoming a citizen as well. So, I'm wondering. If I have someone in Canada whom is willing to become my guardian, and my parents are all for it, as in they agree to it, how would that happen? How could someone whom already lives in Canada sign for my guardianship whilst I am still living here? And, of course, I would want to enroll in public school to finish off my 12th year, is that possible? Considering the site said that you're entitled to wait a certain amount of days until you are eligible to, I can't remember the exact number, but it was rather large. How am I supposed to do that? Is there a way to transfer into a Canadian school like..not instantly, but, soon enough to start soon after I move there? Since I would still be a child, would I have to take the eligibility test? The one where you have to make sure you know all like the laws and such dealing with Canada? I live in the United States, by the way. And if there are any more details I should know, please let me know. I've been dreaming to proceed my schooling in Canada, because I would love to go to college there, so I figured why not try and start early. It's a smart decision to me, so I really don't care about your opinion of it. And don't comment on the moving out part, because I will indeed have someone to take care of me until I no longer need it. But any information would be appreciated. :)
How can a US citizen become Canadian?
Just like the U.S., you need to secure a Green Card first. In Canada they call it Landed Immigrant (LI) instead. Once you become a PERMANENT resident (Landed Immigrant), citizenship is a matter of living there for a few years and then apply for it.The steps to LI is the same for everyone who wants to immigrate to Canada.Being an American is IRRELEVANT!You should Google Canadian immigration for what it takes.Certainly, an American would have an easier time to fulfill these steps than people from other nations since they speak English as a native language and live in a very similar culture. The former would score good points on this point based Canadian immigration system and the latter would help you to get a job, which would add more points to your qualification.
How can i become a canadian citizen while being an illegal in usa?
You can try to apply. You need a skilled trade or a degree in demand to have the best chance of getting in. If you want to move to Canada, here is a link to the Canadian government web site with the information. http://www.goingtocanada.gc.ca/CIC/displ... You can take this test to see if you might qualify http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/s... One of the most popular ways of entering Canada is as a skilled worker. Follow this link to see if you are eligible http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/s... However, Canadian employers will often not hire a person without Canadian employment experience, which you cannot get until someone offers you a job. The problem is that so many previous immigrants from countries other than the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand or north western Europe have had false credentials that Canadian employers are wary of hiring people from other places than I listed. See www.notcanada.com for more details The process of moving to Canada can take up to three years and can cost $10,000 in government fees. Permanent residency in Canada is not free. I always wondered what would happen if someone like you made a refugee claim to be allowed to live in Canada. Normally, Mexicans cannot be considered refugees but if you tried on the grounds that the Mexican gangs have said they will kidnap you and hold you for ransom if you are seen in Mexico on the grounds that your family must be rich from living in the USA, that the Canadian government would accept that. It would be a long shot as you need a visa to even get into Canada and they are already flooded with refugee claimants from Mexico.
