I heard that Canadian Immigration was more difficult for a US citizen than almost anyone else

I don't understand how that can be. Canada takes in vast amounts of asian/caribbean/european immigrants. Why would they make it more difficult for americans to immigrate? We are much closer culturally than these other groups. Also, we are generally wealthier and more educated than the other immigrant groups.

Thought the same thing, least we got Skoorb and MrsSkoorb before Canada started shutting off their borders.

Why do you have to be a dick? He didn't even state his reasons for wanting to move there.

It would be harder to claim refugee status...though there has been a very large increase of Americans coming into Canada over the past year doing just that.

But he didn't say he was looking for refugee status. He could come in under the NAFTA, if he qualifies. I would suspect that Americans looking to immigrate would have a pretty easy time of it.

If you have certain skills (eg: physician) you're almost a sure in if you're willing to locate in an under serviced area.

Ever read any of his posts? Numerous times he has said he would not stay in the US in case of a war.

You're such a collectivist. Since I have a problem with the actions of your present administration, anyone who wants to move to Canada is the enemy, right? What a fool you are.

Trollbard did you ever figure out anything about your supposed Afgan Pipeline or are you sticking to the "I promise you it will happen" line of thinking?

hagbard, you have never answered any of my posts that I make in response to you in any thread, but here goes. First off I could care less whether or not he has a problem with a war or not. His willingness(he has stated many times) to flee in the event of a war is the problem. What a fool he and you both are for thinking there could be a draft.

Exactly. He is intolerant of any ideas different than his own...check out his postings and the way he treats those who disagree with him. I generally try to ignore him, but then he tries to bait me with rude emails.

No I didn't, quote me.

Has nothing to do with war.

I don't care about a draft because I could get out of that in a flash without having to leave the country. Indeed you are a collectivist, pulling these ridiculous ideas out of your ass.

Asking you again to QUOTE me.

Basically you have to have a reason - like starting a business employing x number of people and or the like.

You are a liar. I have never e-mailed you a single time.

You emailed me three times calling me a troll and telling me to go away. Would you like me to post them?
