Re: For Americans considering Canada to excape..

People voted on morals. Not on factories that are closed, minimum wages, jobs taken away and given to countries out side the US. Not on high prescriptions nor lack of health insurance that a large major dont have. Not on the overtime that has been taken away. Not on the high taxes middle class people are paying versus the big tax write off that rich people get........mi cannot understand........a maybe mi will never understand it.........

It's just like cowards to run off when the going gets rough.
I'm wondering how many of you are citizens of the US and how many are not? I am wondering how many have only come here to use it's resources such as welfare and hospitalization that is so easily provided by the Democratic liberal left but is payed in full by the over taxed middle class american worker. Is this not what you are really looking for?
Please leave!...Don't let the door hit you on the butt on the way out!
Remember as you leave to be respectful to the host that has just provided for your stay! [/qb]

What's the job market like out there? I can sell my house and don't have much of a mortgage out there...

Canada: U.S. Immigrants Must Seek Visas

November 3, 2004 08:22 PM EST


TORONTO - Americans attempting to escape four more years of President Bush by fleeing to Canada will have to wait in line, just like immigrants from any other country, the Immigration Ministry said Wednesday.

Over the years, Canada's social climate has shifted to the left of the United States, with relatively higher taxes supporting programs such as public health care. That and the promise of legalized gay marriage and lenient marijuana laws might be a draw to some Democrats despondent over Bush victory and the promise of continued conservatism from his administration.

The U.S. consulate in Toronto estimates there already may be a million Americans living in Canada - most don't register - about a quarter of them in Ontario. But Americans who want to join the expatriate ranks across what is called the world's longest undefended border won't get special treatment just because their brother is married to a Canadian or they like cheap weekends in French-speaking Montreal.

"The immigration program is universal - it applies to everyone the same," France Bureau, spokeswoman for Immigration and Citizenship Minister Judy Sgro told The Associated Press.

"People must apply at a visa mission abroad and all applicants must meet the requirements," Bureau said.

All immigrants need a work permit, a government web site says. A government department must approve any offer of local employment before a permit is issued.

Those without a job offer can apply in the skilled worker category to become a permanent resident, which takes about a year to process. Applicants must have enough funds to support themselves in the meantime. Citizenship applications take an additional three years or so.

Skilled worker applicants must posses a minimum of points in required areas such as education and language proficiency.

Immigrants wanting to live and invest in Canada must have a net worth of $662,000 and be ready to put up at least $331,000. Those wishing to start a business must have a net worth of $248,000.

It's good! Houses are affordable! Average price for a single family home in Toronto is around $300,000 and interest rates are low!
I can only speak for Toronto, though! [/qb]

Re: For Americans considering Canada to excape..

I really have to say that after all that I have seen happen in America, I have no desire to ever live or even vist there.

Other boardites will disagree with me but I feel like kissing the ground here in Canada. Even if it means kissing the snow and ice that is on the ground.

My only worry is the continuing "Americanization" of Canada, A Wal-Mart here, a WalMart there, here a WalMart, there a WalMart, everywhere a WalMart! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Canadians need to boycott all American owned businesses. No shopping at WalMart, Home Depot and all the rest that I'm emabarrassed to say I am not aware of. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

If you ever visit Canada, the first thing you'll notice is that there is a constant "sucking sound" like a huge vacuum. That's the sound of hard earned Canadian dollars being sucked out of our country all the way to corporate America. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

We need to pay the extra $3 per pair of shoes and shop at Zellers and the Bay instead. Let's get rid of the filthy "box stores" that have polluted our suburbs!!!! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
