I wouldn't become a citizen, unless you really want jury duty.

As for the income tax, the IRS only taxes its citizens living abroad if they make $70K USD annually.

Or maybe $75K. Either way, most of us fall below this line.

   

Is anyone aware of any financial aid for Americans looking to study in Canada?

   

You can get an international student loan or a career training loan. There’s probably a host of others, but those were the only two available when I was looking into vfs. On most Canadian school websites though, there’s a section for Admissions: US Citizens and you should be able to check out the type of financial aid available to you on there. If it’s not listed, just call the admissions office and most would be glad to mail you the info.

Cheers

I agree. It's definately not an easy thing to do. And it's very frustrating. My boyfriend is trying to move here right now. Currently he's here on a visitor's visa, and in May we will be applying for Permanent Residence as a common-law couple. It takes a long time, you have to provide alot of proof, go through FBI clearances, etc. It's hard on him because he can't work at the moment, and it isn't like it's easy to cross the border because you never know if they will let you back into Canada. So many questions, etc.

He likes it here. Jobs pay better here than where he's from (Arizona). He can't believe how expensive things cost here though. Health care is better, taxes are higher, but overall he prefers it here. If he does become a citizen eventually, I don't think he wants to give up his American citizenship. We still have to research that (taxes and all).

If you do decide to pursue coming here, expect it to be a long and sometimes frustrating process. It could be worth it for you though. Good luck.

Option B ain't happenin'.

How does Option A work for us dirty foreigners?

   

You could get a work visa, but that's very difficult unless you are very educated.. etc.

Check out Citizenship and Immigration Canada's web site.

   

Alberta. Hottest economy in North America. 2nd largest proven oil reserve in the world. 10 billion in investment in last 2 years alone in oilpatch. Province is debt free. Conservative govt. Have to be a complete idiot not to be able to get work. And even then they still manage to. 750 person call center from Dell computers in last 6 months because of wonderful fat fibre optic line comin in to town. 5 meg cable 40 bux a month. Best skiing in the world 4 hour drive away. Privatized beer stores so you can always get one. Only bad part is nasty cold in winter sometimes. But the heating oil supply isnt controlled by lunatics on the other side of the globe so not likely the supply will get cut off.
Marijuana soon to be decriminalized. I can't see the bad part. Oh and ya best of all Liberals soon to be brought to their knees because they got waaaaaaay too greedy. So all in all a potential nirvana for a young man making his way in the world.
And yes we have a way higher percentage of hot women. They can't get fat because they have to keep moving to stay warm.

Hey guys and gals,

I am currently a student from Malaysia but in Tasmania, Australia completing my undergraduate studies.

I am thinking of Canada as a potential place to gain permanent residence.

well the points into Australia are quite high, furthermore most of my friends have gone back to their home countries, because they don't have enough points or jobs openings in australia.

I have checked the immigration website for Canada, which the points system is reasonable slightly lower comparable to Australian standards.

Are there more jobs being created in Canada compared to Australia?

Is it hard to get a job based on your own profession or easier?

Do people switch their professions to earn more money or remain in their own profession?

Is it possible for me, as a fresh graduate to gain employment with no work experience in Canada? By the way, I am doing a major in "Marketing and International Business".


My last question, regarding the potential political change of government, would the winning party of the 2006 election change the points system of gaining a permanent residence?


Thank you.
