I'm super jealous because I've wanted to have Canadian citizenship since back in my late teens / early adulthood when I realized that there was already a version of America that actually lived up to American ideals and which offered same-sex marriage as well as universal healthcare. That weed and apparently codeine are legal there make it so much more bittersweet.
The only people I've known personally to get citizenship are those who married a Canadian citizen. Which sucks for me because I'm already happily partnered and there's no way I'd give that up for anything, not even Canadian citizenship, awesome and appealing as it is.
Legal marriage and having a life partner are not the same thing. I'll marry you and my partner will marry your partner, no big deal.
Maybe if/when the US invades, if we fight for Canada they'll give us citizenship.
FWIW I obviously don’t have the power to approve that but I would certainly vote to make that a thing!
I had an American friend who married a Canadian. It took SO much work to get her permanent resident card, like a lawyer and everything.
Unfortunately, Canada has MAID, and also likes to deny healthcare to natives in the hopes that they will just die.
Fortunately, Canada has MAID. Unfortunately, Canada has MAID in place of meaningful care.
Shocking. Do you have a source for that?
