Hi thanks for the reply
I am from Afghanistan . I live in USA since since 2014
I came to USA with My family through special Immigration Program for US Army interpreter
but the America government is not helping immigrants as Canada government
and i heard that Canadian have more respect to all religion then Americans do
and i am tired of Hating by people Specially after Donald Trump Speech About Muslim,
so that is why i Am trying to know if i can get my permenenat residency in Canada and
live there rest of my life.
Good luck! I'm an American myself who lived abroad for many years, and immigrated to Canada with my wife -- it's a wonderful country, and coming here was a very positive decision that we have never regretted. It is something to work towards that is valuable and special.
That said, you're going to need a plan. You don't say how old you are, or how much schooling or work experience you have -- I would suggest looking into two main routes.
1) skilled immigration: get a degree in something that is useful, such as social work, and some work experience. If you can speak Pashto, Dari, or another major language of Afghanistan, there might be a specialized need for that skill in some large cities.
2) TN visa. Get your American citizenship, and then see if you can find a job working up here under the NAFTA treaty. If you have a job here, you could see what it's like and decide if you do want to try and immigrate permanently.
Other options include studying in Canada, which used to be a better stepping stone for immigration than it is now but is still something, or finishing college in the United States and then trying to get a working holiday visa up here. Generally, if you have no college degree and no plans to get one, immigration becomes harder.
