Springfield Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I’ve considered, but never seriously, moving to Canada. I’m American, but my last name is French Canadian so my family and I might just fit right in. Plus, I’d be able to play hockey a lot more. That would be a bonus. Also, the snow! Negative is that all of my friends and family are in nova for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked into it since its been a dream o mine for over twenty years. Canadians say its difficult. I think a educated American would get in just fine. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/check-eligibility.asp https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/canadas-immigration-policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, you have to put up about a hundred grand that you get back after 2 years...it's the cost of setting up your healthcare & other services. As I said, just what I heard from someone who lived there for a while...and she said it was glorious. The boyfriend she brought back here wanted to go home within a month. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they have a wall too, its just virtual or made of red tape and green paper?🤣 I've thought about moving there since Trump took office. The psycho-analytical part of my mind make me wonder how they would respond if they were geographically flipped with us? If they were on our southern border and Mexico was on there's?

purbeast Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If I could ever move to another country, it would be Aruba or Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman is noticeably more expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 My wife and I have looked semi-seriously at moving to Canada since Trump was elected. Vancouver is one of the best places to live in the world but has incredibly high cost of living compared to relatively low salaries. Toronto is roughly on par with the DC area in costs and salaries. Fortunately my wife has an advanced degree and could probably achieve work sponsorship fairly easily. Still considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $200+k cost is if your applying as a Immigrant Investor. You also need a net worth of $1.5 million. If applying as a student or worker its mostly application fees which I think are around $1k. Your education, work history, and understanding of the English or French language seem to be whats really taken into account when applying.

Largest single border between two countries in the world and treated polar opposite of our border with Mexico. I get some of the logically reasoning, but the irony still isnt lost on me.
