It's not as easy as you think it is. Unless you're HIGHLY specilized in an area that no other canadians can cover.

Not very hard, as Canada has about 0.9% unemployment, and the average wage is about 25USD an hour. I got a job working as a runner for a local newspaper. All I did was carry wire reports from the central area to the editors and also did minor errands for them around town.

After you are in Canada for two years you can get whats called a NNCC (Non-Native Canadian Citizenship). All you have to do is learn about the Canadian History, and pass a test on the Federal Laws. In some provinces you must also pass a test on local laws, but I didn't for Ontario.

I lived in a duplex apartment that rented out for 250 a month. It was actually fairly new (built in 1987), and the landlord was very good about always fixing anything that broke. I found a beautiful girl there and we were married in 2004. The only problem with my story ended up being that I'm a complete and total liar. Sorry.

Douchebag. :(

I was almost thinking of moving there.
