Canadian immigration people are very anti-american....

Answer 2

Ask libs who voted for Gore & Kerry, they claimed to have plans to move there, but never did.

Answer 3

go to the government website and start there... you will be applying for permanent residence first and then citizenship after a number of years

www.cic.gc.ca and the government isn't anti- american because it took a little more than a year and a half for my husband who is american to get permanent residence

Answer 4

Go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/citizenship...

This is the official gov't web site for people who want Canadian citizenship.

Note that there is a series of qualifying questions - education, languages spoken, etc. and not everyone qualifies.

Answer 5

America does allow dual citizenship - it just does not OFFICIALLY recognize it. Anyone entering the USA who is a US citizen, MUST BY LAW show their US passport at customs & immigration. They cannot show any other passport they may have.

Below is the beginning of the skilled worker application for permanent residence in Canada - just to see if you qualify. You must be a PR living in Canada for 3 years before you can apply for citizenship. PR status in Canada is the same as Green card status in USA.

You need to have at least 1 years work experience in your chosen field before you can apply. 4 years is better - gives you more points.

You must meet the following minimum requirements to apply as a skilled worker:

You have at least one continuous year of full-time, paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment. Your work experience must be Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC).

You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.
