Im a US permanent Resident(green card holder) so, that makes me visa-exempt as a US citizen but they still asked for my original passport(i did wrot ethem a cover letter explaining them that a visa shouldnt be affixed on my passport since with my green card I can simply flagpole at the border) I will let you know if they stamped the passport or not.jamsham12 said:
Being a green card holder might make you visa exempt for travel purposes, but you are not a U.S. citizen, so I'm not surprised they asked for your passport. It's one thing to travel for a visit but a whole different thing to physically move to a country.lokyy said:
Sorry, you are not a US citizen if you have a green card and you can not have a US passport with the green card.lokyy said:
YOU CANT PHYSICALLY MOVE TO CANADA EVEN IF YOU ARE A US CITIZEN EITHER!rugrat907 said:
But theres a big difference between a green card holder and a U.S Citizen, i don't think anyone implied being a U.S citizen would afford you the luxury of getting permanent residency. I do not recall a U.S citizen being requested the passport prior to the issuance of the permanent residency visa AKA COPR, as most green card holders hold passports from their birth country or nationality hence why CIC requests the physical passport.lokyy said:
Dude...no reason to be yelling. You are the one that said you were a citizen, not me. I'm well aware of the fact that I can't just move to Canada as a US citizen - why else would I have all those little notes and dates under my profile if I thought otherwise. ;Dlokyy said:
Technically you can "move" to Canada if you are US citizen, but I would not do that with a green card, too risky.rugrat907 said:
completely false information,,,you cant just extend your visit visa here and simply live here by having money,,,o6ocpaka said:Technically you can "move" to Canada if you are US citizen, but I would not do that with a green card, too risky.
If you move, you won't be able to get a job, healthcare etc, but you can keep extending your stay here if you have the money and support. It all comes down to one word - money.
Just to remind you lokyy, you are in Family Class Sponsorship section of this forum, and yes you can extend your stay, we have personally done it. Personal financial support and the reason is the largest proof they are looking for, even if you are married.lokyy said:
There is no limit on how many times and for how long you can extend your stay as long as you have proof of personal financial support and the reason for doing so, in this case again - family class sponsorship - people want to be with their loved ones while waiting for PR, for some it takes less than a year, for some it takes 2 or 3+ years.lokyy said:you cant extens forever buddy,,so, you cant technically move here .period..
i have 3 citizenships
, but I don't see how this relates to the topic. You are aware though that many countries do not allow dual citizenship? Not sure where you are coming from, but you may be liable for a crime and fraud right now, I sure hope CBSA will check you out thoroughly.
