	Canadian green cards? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Is it difficult to get a green card, or working permit in Candada? I was just wondering because after consulting few folks here, they said at these times I'm most likely turned down if I apply for one in the US because of things I've explained earlier. So I figure I should try Canada also because I kind of like that too.

So what do you think? Any ways for a guy like me to sneak in?

But I do love hockey and Gretzky was my idol for many years, and I still hold him in a high place in my heart. I'm a hockey fanatic. I love Canadian mountains. And Canadian women. But who am I kidding, I love all women (btw I had a date today, but she called it off.. god damn "#"¤#/)&#).

I just figure I need to get myself there, Canada is my second choice so.. I'm happy if I can accomplish that. I'm just skeptic that they'll let me in... after all, I did inhale.

You might want to try Canada before moving to the U.S. They have a little more sunlight, a little less cold, and are less of a welfare state than you're used to, but pot is legal there.

Flubber, yeah about that other thread, you know I was only kidding, right?

che, Yeah I guess that would be cool check point before going to the top. Suits me.. and about pot, I don't smoke pot. I don't have a single cell in my body that wants illegal drugs. 'Yeahh riiight that's what they all say druggie!'.

Not quite on the pot thing . . . There have been rulings questioning the validity of the pot laws but it still sits in the Criminal Code as an offence at the moment.

The movement to decriminalize pot possession would merely take it out of the Criminal Code but you could still be charged with an offence under other new legislation. So you could pay pay a fine but not get a criminal record-- it would be a lot like a traffic violation.

Canadian immigration and work visas SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
Pekka it is a pain in the ass, expect delays and high $ cost. Also if you are in certain areas and you are offered a job the company has to go through certain guidlines to explain why they are not offering the job to a Canadian citizen. If you get to come to Canada and you decide you want to go visit in the US or back home you will have a HUGE hassle at the border coming back to Canada. I have been here 2 years now and am still not "legal" to work, even with my common law wife(soon to be real wife) being a Canadian citizen I get no breaks. Plus I have to pay $$ just to stay here as a visitor Funny thing is I am a homeowner here and that doesn't even help

LOL
I actually figured as an American with NAFTA and all I could get legal here very quickly, but no luck. I think a few years back they had a big unflux of immigrants and now they are trying to make it tougher for the poor and uneducated to get in, so of course that also makes it harder and more expensive for the normal person to get here. I can't complain though the place I live is beautiful, I do ok with computer work on the side and my wifey has a great government job so we don't starve
The BC bud is wonderful as is the clean air, and I don't know about the colder parts of Canada but here it never snows and the women are drop dead beautiful

Nah, I don't mind if it's lots of work or is expensive.. It's good enough if it's doable. It seems like I can't get in to the US, so that's near impossible for what I've been told.

Its equally bad for Canadians working in the US. Mrs Flubber is a nurse and worked in Texas. Every 6 months she had to leave the US and "re-enter" to stay legal and they always gave her a hassle. The Mexican border was only a few hours away so it wasn't that far to travel but it just seemed an unnecesary PIA when people are crying out for nurses.

I always wondered what would happen if the US denied her re-entry--

Flubber, Sure high level for not active player.. I did play hockey very seriously until the age of 16, trained everyday. I still can skate like a wind and play, but I wouldn't be good with people who still play actively. But I can go with sunday players .

Looks like I have to establish my own country. I'll need to come up with a name and constitution. And a flag (can't have any red in it, even if it symbols blood) and my own money. Who wants to join? Free citizenship for Poly members! We can use english as the official language and... make pot legal, so we can actually get some of you to join. Then hmmm.. what else.. I guess that's it.

Oh yeah, and we have our own fries... the POWER fries. And the POWER burgers. Who's with me!

I know that game Mrs. Flubber had to play, up here we call it "dancing around the flagpole" If I travel to Victoria and hop a ferry to Seattle and then come back I am good for another 6 months, but it costs me more to travel to Victoria and pay for the ferry and lunch than to pay my extended visitor fee and save the customs line hassle. I used to work in the states and just live part time here, but with SARS,the Iraq conflict and lower wages and higher travel costs I decided to just become a house husband for a while, do some business on the side and wait for my immigration process. We have a daughter who is a hockey phenom so I am busy full time getting her to practices, games, extra ice time, training her off ice and doing some team management etc etc.
I am hoping she gets to olympic level then maybe I can get real citizenship

If you want to get into the US, I'm sure you won't have any difficulty imigrating to Mexico, and from there it's just a hop over the fence.

Can I be a the starting defenceman for the national hockey team. If you get a dozen Canadians to join we should be good enough to win the Hockey "B" pool world championships

Flubber, absolutely. You don't have to ask me any permissions.. my country is very laid back when it comes to Poly members. Do as you will, as long as you are not hurting the country or its citizens. This naturally doesn't apply to citizens who join later...... they will be our work force

I've been thinking, we should get some of UN help money, our economy is kind of horrible since we don't have any, so I figure we get few billions easily. That should be enough for us to go around for few years.
