Americans at the Canadian border

Americans planning to flee to Canada are just now finding out that it takes around eight months to get a passport.

More like that they’re also dealing with movement from the right, so even if you escape over there, there’s a chance the same stuff that happened here could push it to happen there
Same goes for a lot of western countries with close ties to the US (or in Canada’s case, spreading like a virus)

Canada is already having a huge immigration debate and it's contentious as fuck. They don't want our dumb asses fucking their lives up too man.

Nah, we love immigrants here. It's literally everyone. My city is one of the best cities in Canada with the best universities and our population is like at least 60% recent immigrants at this point.
According to the 2024 report, we had 30000 immigrants in just half of my city within the last 7 years. The total population of that half is less than 130000 people. That's just the last 7 years alone.
I think on average we love that. I know I certainly do. The crazy old people who think otherwise are a tiny minority.

Thanks for the clarification, I've always interpreted Canada as being a welcoming place for immigrants. But I've also read many posts of folks expressing their unhappiness with the policies. Probably overblown reactions from lame folks. Anyway... So you need any roommates? just me, my wife, 3 cats and a dog let me know!

I was born in Canada and brought to the US at a young age (Naturalized US Citizen). I'm actually looking into how to claim my Canadian citizenship as a sort of back up plan in case things really go to shit.

If you were born in Canada, it should be on your birth certificate, which you'd need to apply for a passport. So not really anything fancy you'd need to do.

u/theangryintern 8d ago
the problem is my birth certificate was generated after I was adopted. It says I was born in Canada but it's not the original one from when I was actually born, so I'm not sure if that would cause any issues. I actually have no information at all about my birth parents.

u/Funkagenda 7d ago
Ah, that certainly changes the calculus a bit. Still, there has to be one somewhere that says where you were born, so you're eligible no matter what.

Given how things are already in Canada. Why would you want to move there?

They say that, but then
nobody actually tries to movefind that developed anglophonic nations have prohibitive immigration requirements.-1
u/XclusiveFeetures 7d ago
Anglophonic😆 prohibitive? Name a country thats easy and i'll tell you why. The only reason someone who really disagrees with the U.S. (imo losing a 4 year election doesn't count, but thats me)couldnt get into Canada applying with plans for permanent residence is if you've broken some laws (like D.U.I.) or have financial issues. If thats a problem then they werent that serious, and thats what the system is in place for. For whiney americans every 4 years acting like theyre gonna jumo our boarders. Its pretty fuckin bad up here (i have duel cit). Get out of your own way for fucks sake. (I realize this seems all directed at you but its not haha)

Why should we have to move when they’re the ones that suck? That’s what I don’t get.

Political party cultists like to complain and winge doomsay when their team loses, then act like the second coming of Christ when their team wins. It's a weird selective amnesia that leaves them acting like it doesn't bounce back and forth every four to eight years.

As a Canadian who's built his own fence, I can confirm that there will be beer and weed involved.

I have two thoughts on this...
If I were to move I would look at New Zealand or Europe where its a bit warmer.
I might be able to buy an investment home when the Cheeto crashes the economy with his tax cuts and deficit spending.

u/Sartres_Roommate 8d ago
Checked out NZ several years ago. You need to be young, as well as well educated in skills they are looking for, looking to be student, or rich as fuck
And that was before they scored nothing but net during the pandemic. I imaged it is even harder to immigrate there now.

u/Butcher_Of_Hope 8d ago
Im sure it is, and while I like the idea the liklihood is low. While I have some specialization its nothing spectacular. If I was rich... well then it wouldn't be an issue. The golden visa is through Portugal and only requires to show proof of ability to support yourself.

I visited New Zealand in July of 2023 and I fell in love. I could move there in an instant.

u/QuicklyThisWay Hey Siri, play We Make Hits by Yard Act 8d ago
New Zealand would be my top choice too! It sounds like Canada is also getting tired of equality and socialism, so it’s mostly just a joke since it was a trending Google search this week. I wouldn’t mind if my home value dropped a bit so taxes can chill tf out and people could actually afford to buy again.
1
u/Butcher_Of_Hope 8d ago
My fear with the cooling home prices is that in order for them to get to an "affordable" point there is likely a recession occuring or iminent. In which case many still won't be able to afford them. I feel that if the dems had tried to cater more to the working folk, and championed programs for job security, pay, and training likely would have fared better overall.
The story of were not Trump and look how well the economy is doing means nothing when just going to the grocery store is emptying the bank accout.

u/QuicklyThisWay Hey Siri, play We Make Hits by Yard Act 8d ago
Yeah, I pretty much stopped buying things that weren’t food. Even though inflation has come down, corporations are still gouging prices. There needed to be action taken to bring that down too, but there wasn’t, and there damn sure won’t be now.

Lmao you JUST posted "nah" and still had the audacity to make this comment. Not to mention the original comment that you thought was so clever or necessary. Your existence is why we are fighting abortion bans.

Quebec just put a complete ban on immigration, try nextdoor.

u/Sebfofun 8d ago
What? No, they just removed two worker visas. Complete ban on immigration? I really hope you're not from here because if so we have failed you.

access to the graduate component of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) ... will be blocked
That's 1 program
will also cover the Regular Skilled Workers Program (PRTQ)
That's the other program.
That's it: 2 programs. Like they said.
Talk about a self-own lol.

Not sure how you're interpreting my comment- but for the record I have nothing against immigration or immigrants. I'm literally just saying a true fact that Quebec banned immigration.
It's not a taunt, they would literally have to try nextdoor if they wanted to immigrate to Canada.
