How to Immigrate to Canada

Have you been out of work for months? Is the path our country has chosen conflict with your beliefs and standards? Is all the drama just getting to you. For quite a few years all we've heard is how much longer past 65 we'll have to work to receive a Social Security retirement. Even worse that it might very well not be there when it's time to collect.

Our Government has run us off into the ditch. Bush pushed the idea of privatizing Social Security, our one and only life line. We spend our lives working hard expecting that for at least a few years we can kick back to some extent. Now with the stock market loosing ground in leaps and bounds, just think of the fine mess we'd be in if that notion had been successful. Maybe a brand new start is what it will take to get clear of all these headaches. So what are your options?

One choice would be to abandon normal society and join the group of misfits living as squatters in the New Mexico desert. Living Off the Grid on the Mesa proves the old Wild West still exists. With a complete distrust of anything authority or government, these people take care of their own. "We don't call 911, we call 357...Magnum". It's a hard life, but they feel it's the closest thing to true freedom you can find in this country.

If this is a bit extreme for you and your family you can always immigrate to that friendly, all be it chilly, country to our north. Canada has a heck of a lot more space then people. With the majority of the population concentrated around a handful of large cities, many areas of the country are made up of small towns and isolated little hamlets.

Their immigration opportunities are wide open, with a variety of categories that will facilitate your Immigrating to Canada. Skilled workers are in high demand as are Entrepreneurs. If you have family members who are already citizens, they can sponsor you for immigration. If you've worked or lived in Canada, your experience may be enough to get you in.

It's a lengthy process that takes up to 2 years to arrange and unless you qualify as a refugee the paper work needs to be done from outside Canada. The status of refugee is limited to those who fear for their life or are in risk of personal injury where they are coming from. Having a bone to pick with your current government doesn't qualify you, and attempting to gain fraudulent entry could result in deportation.

Once you've managed to immigrate to Canada, it takes at least 2 yrs and more commonly 3 yrs to qualify for Canadian Citizenship. Once you've gained citizenship you are a true Canadian and will be eligible for their nationalized medical system and all other government sponsored benefits.

It's not an overnight process, but for some it's worth the effort. There are lots of opportunities in Canada, immigrating is an option not to take lightly, but it's worth giving some serious thought.

There is one more choice when it comes to dealing with all the issues being displayed by our media. With all the drama being presented every day, maybe the best solution is to just Turn Off the TV, Turn off the Radio, Cancel the Newspaper and go for a walk in the country.
