Ironically the US is one of the easier countries to immigrate to.
Interest declined when they discovered the immigration process was non-trivial. I checked into Canada back in 2016. Didn't bother this time. I think a lobotomy might be the answer. It would be nice if I could just have my empathy surgically removed.
I looked into moving to Germany a few years back myself. Mostly because my work has a place over there and the employee benefits are way way better there than here. I think most immigration processes are nontrivial unless you have a ton of wealth to bring to a country.
Wait, you're telling me other countries have long processes for immigrating? I'm shocked. SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.
Save your money, y'all. You might need it if you ever need to flee to Canada as a refugee.
If I have to die young, I’m taking a few fascists with me.
Edit: for example the lemmy.ml bots that are stalking my comment history. Yes, you, I see you.
This is scary...
Always Remember: Democrats moving to Canada would certainly vote Conservative once eligible to do so.
No, but they all now have plan on how to move.
Canada has US flag waving pickup truck driving room temperature IQ having Trump cultists. Somehow. It's incredibly stupid.
Mentally stunted by all the poison from petroleum extraction and refining.
They're discouraged by Canada. Subreddits for European countries are filled with Americans inquiring about their chances though. I've heard of several wanting to know more about the Netherlands.
As a Dutch person we'd happily welcome the more sensible Americans over here 🙂. I can't guarantee our government wouldn't try to stop a mass migration wave given their anti-immigrant policies though.
It's funny, my partner and I were actually talking about moving to the US for a while to spend more time with my American in-laws but I think that'll be out of the window for the next four years.
Well once the US stops support and drops out of Nato and Putin starts steamrolling across Eastern Europe countries after they decimated what's left of Ukraine, I'm sure all the borders will be closed.
Not that it does much good. If the option is get tortured and killed or try your luck with an illegal border crossing people will always try. Even if the border police starts shooting like at the North Korean border, people would still try.
I asked on here, but I'm Canadian. I know what is coming up here and it's worse than Trump.
It went down when they realized you can't just walk into Canada.
I'm still working on it. I just started Uni so I'm unsure of how to go about it
AFAIK if you spend at least 2 years studying here you automatically qualify for a 3 year work permit. I think rolling that into permanent residency is a lot easier than just applying for a work visa or PR out of the gate
International student tuition is way more expensive here in Canada than it is for citizens, but I'm not sure how it stacks up against normal US tuition.
Grain of salt, everything I've said is based on anecdotes from people I know who went through it
Usually it's a bit of a discount
Canada's closed, sorry.
Stonekeeper, does this chattering animal speak for you?
You can get some affordable healthcare once you're here. I've heard my neighbors that came up from the States talk about the piece of mind they got when they realized their healthcare will not bankrupt them. It sounds like it's quite the relief, eh?
