I'm the only person in my family to speak some broken French. However, we live in Dieppe and we haven't had any problems whatsoever. Actually, I'd say Dieppe (most of it) is the best part of Greater Moncton. Northern Moncton is pretty good. Riverview is good, too (and mostly English if that's...

You didn't run the calculator properly. You just calculated the days of physical presence. Scroll down where it says "Select 'Continue' if you would like to know when you will meet both the 1460 days requirement and the 183 days requirement, taking into account time spent serving a sentence and...

$4000 a month? A survival job?? This sounds more like an average wages in Canada.

Christina, your Italian-born baby will be a Canadian citizen no matter if you were born in Canada or became a Canadian citizen through naturalization. But he/she will not be able to pass the Canadian citizenship to his or her children if they are also born abroad.

How hard?? Virtually impossible. http://windsorstar.com/news/windsor-again-no-1-with-unemployment-but-its-worse-than-that

Very useful links, thank you fourkey2001

Are you trying to say that a Canadian with another passport is not a Canadian? :o

Sending the terrorist out of Canada is not alternative at all. He/she is a Canadian terrorist, so it's a problem of Canada to deal with him/her. If it's not capital punishment, but a $100 fine, then let it be. How about murderers? Why don't send them out? How about drug dealers? Do we need them...

There is no connection between citizenship and criminal offenses one may commit. Revoking citizenship is NOT a punishment/correction method according to the Criminal Code. When you become a citizen, you assume certain responsibilities, and the country assumes a responsibility for you. If you are...

Tons of smart and aggressive marketing mostly. Just look at those ridiculous ratings, "the best country to live", "the best city of earth", "the best passport to travel" and other bull$%^&. A handful of Western nations make those ratings up themselves, they are not really honest research based...

I think you misunderstood me, my friend. All I meant is that unskilled jobs pay comparatively little in Asia or Africa, and for an unskilled worker from there getting an unskilled job position in Canada would mean better standards of life. On the other hand, for a professional (a doctor from...

Exactly. A doctor would bring more money, and he would probably represent a higher quality human capital from the point of view of Canada (less prone to crime, better educated kids, etc.). Just business...

This depends entirely on what kind of work those immigrants are supposed to do. If you have survival/menial jobs in mind, then the Canadian economy can support many more immigrants than it does now. If you mean professional jobs - Canada does not need anyone. But the weird thing is that instead...

You agree, but you don't realize that reducing the number of immigrants (in other words making it harder to immigrate) and 10 years residence before citizenship would make Canada lose in the competition for immigrants right away.

It's just good old market/supply and demand paradigm. Nothing personal, just business. Canada is competing with a number of other countries for quality migrants. It starts the game well because Canada is relatively easy to get into, but then it looses the game because the country has little to...

PS Btw, I know nothing about Somali, but I suspect your image of India is pretty distorted, too.

You are talking nonsense. Use your head - the country has the 2nd largest number of immigrants in the world. There are many more immigrants in Russia than the entire population of Moscow, so they cannot all live and work in one city. So what do those do that live outside Moscow? Collect EI...

Friend, the way you worded this leaves me wondering where exactly you didn't have to know someone to make things work, in "Somali, India, Russia" or in "advanced Western" countries. :P To me this looks like a Freudian slip. I'm originally from Russia and I have been living here in Canada for 10...

That's a very interesting concept of being "nice" and "friendly". I assume Latin Americans, Arabs and Eastern Europeans are incomparably less "friendly" and "nice" because they at least say hi to a person they had met before. Am I right? 8)

Pardon my French, but I think this is bullshit. If it were true, I would have received my card already. According to the spreadsheet, it looks more like 60+ days.
