Actually, Canadian courts have stated that the policy of returning refugees and asylum seekers to the United States *IS* illegal. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/safe-third-country-agreement-court-1.5658785 It is *not* illegal to apply for asylum/RS, and you do *not* know everything about my...

The US has almost 5 times Canada’s rate of infection. The US is by far the worst country in the world, blowing every other country out of the water on every metric. Canada isn’t even in the top 25.

The 75 million or so people who voted for the orange baby aren’t going anywhere, and he’s making sure of that with his post-election temper tantrum. There is a lot of talk about a second civil war in the US, and the “reality” t.v. star-in-chief would love nothing less. I feel an extreme sense of...

I definitely have serious health issues which put me in a much higher risk of experiencing life-threatening complications if I contract covid. I live on 5 acres in a remote, rural area just a few hours South of the border, in NH. So, yes, I can sort of quarantine. The problem is that most...

Okay. This has been very helpful. Thank you very much for your time and patience! I can’t say that I’m particularly looking forward to the process, but I’m definitely excited to get away from the US and to calling myself a full-fledged “Canadian.” I’ve been considering moving to Canada ever...

You don’t have healthcare in Canada, despite being a citizen/PR? How does that work?! That whole system seems strange to me, but I live in a country that forces people to pay out-of-pocket for pretty much everything (or buy expensive insurance from a private company), so which is better...

Yeah... I was just thinking that maybe she can request “special authorization” to travel to Canada and have them look up her citizenship status through that process, and include the results with my own application. The official website says they can verify whether or not she has ever been issued...

I did actually take the time, since you did not originally, and I saw exactly that. It doesn’t say “you must have proof of citizenship before you can receive AISH” which is how you phrased it. The way you phrased it was very negative. I’m a linguist, so don’t try to tell me that it isn’t...

Thank you. I’ve already completed my application and am just waiting for my mother to complete hers, then we’ll send them in together and request urgent processing. It’s my understanding that the “official” wait time is grossly misrepresented on the official website, especially with the current...

I think you’re talking about permanent residence? What bearing does that have on people who were born Canadian citizens, such as myself? I don’t need to apply for permanent residence if I was born a Canadian citizen, do I?

Why do I get the feeling that 99% of the responses I’m getting are from people who are hoping to discourage anyone/everyone from entering Canada at all costs, regardless of their circumstances? I get the impression that a lot of the “VIP Members” here are Canadian xenophobes. I was born a...

Do you happen to know what the typical waiting period is? I’m sure it varies by province, but it shouldn’t vary that widely, right? Where would I find that info?

I’m claiming citizen as a child born to a naturalized citizen. My mother has lost her proof of citizenship, as she was only a child when she was naturalized in Nova Scotia in 1974. I was born in 1981, when she was 20 years old. The process requires her to get her proof of citizenship before I...

Who’s arguing? I’m simply trying to clarify. If you don’t want to engage in a civil conversation with me on this subject, then don’t respond to me.

I was just reading an article published yesterday about the ban. It says that Canadian citizens are allowed to enter, and there’s a possibility of getting a “compassionate grounds” exception. I’m a Canadian citizen - I just don’t have proof of that at the moment. I’m just trying to find a way to...

Thank you. I’ll look into that.

Yes, I understand what the IRPA says. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, the process to obtain your citizenship certificate also takes years, from what I understand, unless they approve you for “urgent processing,” which I understand also takes a long time. I may not have that much time. I...

Other than remote locations which are capable of controlling the influx of visitors (like Hawaii), most places in the US are seeing substantial spread at the moment. Even in NH where I live, which is mostly rural. We get a lot of visitors from Massachusetts who for some reason think it’s okay to...

Interesting. Thank you. I’m giving serious consideration to Alberta, as I believe they have that AISH program which would provide me with a slightly better standard of living than the pittance I currently get from SSDI if I were to qualify for it, which I believe I would. It’s just a bit of a...

That’s not why I’m moving there - I already have Medicaid and Medicare which pay for all my medical expenses. However, that doesn’t sound very good as far as continuation of care is concerned. Could you elaborate, please? It has always been my understanding that necessary care was readily...
