Is it difficult to immigrate to Canada for Americans?

Does any one on this thread know?

Not sure about today. I lived there from age 13-22 and we were sponsored by my Mom's family. I remember Mom jumping through a lot of hoops, especially proving financial stability. This was 1975-1976. I'd say the process from first application to actually getting our passports stamped was almost two years.

Unless you have a killer job lined up, I would advise against it. Remember, health care is a huge issue, and the laws are very different in some areas. Forget about owning a handgun and be ready to register your long guns in a federal registry. Then there are regional differences. You sure don't want to live in Quebec, for obvious reasons; the Maritimes are like Appalachia; urban Ontario is like NYC/NJ, BC is like California. The only place most Americans would feel comfortable in, IMHO is Alberta.

If their [legal] immigration policy is anything like ours, if you're white, literate, and come from a 1st world nation, you go to the back of the line.

But I am curious, also, to hear the answer to your question.
