You're right about the EU thing, but I guess more Brits are even worried about the EU itself and Brexit is just the tip of the iceberg...hence that leaves Oz, Canada and the US as possible "safer" destinations.

lol respect.

If I were you, I'd apply for the name change after you get the certificate before applying for the passport UNLESS you have to travel urgently over the next 6 months. It takes about 5-6 months to get a replacement citizenship certificate which is a pain plus depending on where you are 2 months...

The fact that she was born in Canada in 1947 makes her a citizen so unless she actively renounced her citizenship she's still a citizen. This means you could be eligible for citizenship. Check out this form and go to "Scenario 3", which applies to you. if you fulfil the conditions then you're...

1. Your scenario 1 is healthcare fraud and having known so many people who work both in Service Ontario and hospitals the fraud detection rates are actually quite high. Plus even if they are temporarily resident they will still have to wait months for the heart by-pass surgery, during which they...

:D only rich families may do that, and these guys here again would definitely not need our money to educate and care for their kids.

That's true but different from what's being discussed here. It's true that c-24 won't magically make citizens more loyal or loving of Canada (in fact maybe the opposite). I agree that they shouldn't talk about Canada in a very hostile way if they are citizens- makes no sense, but this comes with...

There's no such thing as citizenship of convenience. If someone becomes a Canadian citizen and then leaves Canada (whether a few days or a year or 10 years after becoming a citizen), he/she will: 1. Have to turn in OHIP or equivalent in other provinces (not entitled to use public healthcare)...

Folks this whole CoC thing is fuelled by right-wing propaganda pure and simple, and Harper being the demon that he was exploited it. I'm sure these very same Tory-loving rich upper-class conservatives themselves have another passport from Europe etc either due to ancestry or naturalization (I...

You use the example of 1 Canadian/Indian to highlight COC, hardly a large sample. Not everyone doesn't know anything about Canada in fact I know more about Canadian history than some people who were supposedly born and lived in Canada for their entire lives. Should these people be stripped off...

HAAHAHAHAHAHA LOL thank you so much Jee786: I didn't know torontosm's background and the Pakistan issue but now that you've highlighted how much of a HYPOCRITE he is, I've given you a +1 :). Thanks for making my day!

Not only that but there are studies that show that immigrants are more likely to be underemployed than native-born Canadians in spite of being more qualified. I myself knew 4 PhDs who worked as cab drivers in Toronto!! I can only imagine how many there are out there. The real focus should be on...

I don't mind paying taxes- theoretically taxation is the price we pay for having a developed social contract and being part of a society that should epitomize empathy. However, for such high taxation I would expect competent management at the political level, and that's the issue here in Canada...

A better (and fairer) solution would be for international students to pay more, to rid corruption in the university system, to boost R&D investment as a % of GDP, and to ensure that Canada's universities can actually compete with the Harvards, Oxfords, and Stanfords in the world (which at the...

lol I know so absurd, when someone born in Canada could be as much a liability (if not more) than someone born outside Canada.

1. By wanting to ban CoC's and knowing full well that you can't prove or disprove intent you are effectively trying to ban people from travelling/leaving. However let's say that your only concern is their kids and the future: These kids will still need to finance themselves it's not like they...

Uh not sure where to begin. 1. Try looking up different types of taxes not just PIT and CIT for heaven's sakes. Also, immigroup like wikipedia isn't exactly a reliable economics source. I have personal experience of paying taxes in different countries and I'm definitely paying CRA much more than...

Healthcare fraud: this is an enforcement problem not a "system" problem. Your issue is with CBSA not immigration law then. You're barking up the wrong tree. Universities: in the UK tuition fees used to be cheaper and for some courses they still are even at Oxford and Cambridge. It's up to the...

Spot on!

You're delusional mate. They paid into the system already!!! Taxes in Canada btw are much higher than almost any other developed country (France is probably the exception). He or she wants the citizenship in spite of putting up with 4 years looking for a better future. If she had that job she'd...
