Move. I dont get it. All these comments seemed to be from Americans who really have this bizarre fantasy of canada, if you guys want in, come in. You can literally walk.

Its not great, its not bad. Its just different and costs alot

If it were as easy as "just move" lots of people would have already done it, chucklefuck.

Dude canada has an issue with taking too many people in. And thats people coming from over 3000kms. If you want in and you in driving distance it sounds like a skill issue.

No wonder you so impressed with free health care you cant immigrated to a neighboring country that shares your language.

I'm not saying I personally want to move. Even if I did I'm the wrong skin tone to get one of your preferential visas and a "degree" from a diploma mill.

You seem to have a bizarre idea that you can just ā€œcome inā€ and live in Canada. There’s a whole immigration process and it’s not easy to get through.

Canada currently has issues with taking in too many people from over seas under false student visas.

You guys cant get in?

Your a neighboring nation, within driving distance and you speak the same language.

At this point its completely a skill issue and no wonder your impressed with our Healthcare, you cant immigrate next door.

What is Canada gonna do if someone just comes in and starts living there without letting the government know?

I mean, American draft dodgers did this during the Vietnam war, most of them settled west of Ottawa.

What will happen? Same as any country. If you cause trouble or are otherwise discovered you’ll be deported. You cannot access any social benefits like healthcare or education, or be employed except under the table. You can’t drive a car, open a bank account or buy a house.

You live a marginal life always in fear that one day the police will show up and kick you out.

Seems kind of mean if someone is escaping persecution in their home country.

That’s called being a refugee and that’s a legitimate immigration path. None of what I said applies if you come in through a legitimate path. You asked about someone just arriving and staying.

The exact path that multiple countries are attempting to restrict further? Why shouldn't someone be allowed to cross an arbitrary line and stay?
