I’m a gay American citizen looking to get out. Where should I emigrate to and how?

Posted March 28th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I’m a 20-year-old American with a brain, ambition and a bachelor’s degree in Geography, Arabic and E. European Studies.

I’ve also been thinking about and researching emigration on a near daily basis for at least three years. I am not comfortable in this country – I’m gay, Palestinian, a secular Muslim, very liberal and am quite affected by my inability to marry a foreigner.

I’ve been thinking of emigrating to Canada (which would be easy), but I’d like to somehow get into the E.U.

I’d prefer a country that allows gay marriage, has good health care and isn’t rife with problems. I’ve been investigating Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the U.K. I don’t care about high taxes or languages. I /would/ like to maintain my American citizenship so that I can take care of family in the future, etc. without problem. (I hear that some officially do not allow dual citizenship, but don’t really enforce it.)

What do you suggest? How do I do this without being a highly skilled professional?

UPDATE: I know which countries allow for gay marriage/benefits.

I just want to know which E.U. country is easiest to emigrate to and how to go about doing it.

The gay marriage/benefits thing is just ONE factor in influencing why I’m leaving and where I’ll go – that is, I’d prefer Sweden and Holland to Poland or Malta, which, despite being EU, are not at all gay-friendly. I’ve been in love with someone before that didn’t have the right passport and it’s kept us apart – not a fun experience. If I was a Swede, Canadian, etc. it wouldn’t be a problem. Make sense?

Can somebody immigrate to Canada if they don’t speak English?

Posted March 28th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

As in, say a French speaker from Europe wanted to immigrate to Canada, would they have to speak English as well, or could they get in only knowing one of the official languages?

Assuming they’d be wanting to live in Québec, because I don’t think anybody would want to live in an area where they didn’t speak the language.

Posted March 28th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I have been selected for a potential interview with the Federal Government’s Immigration and Refugee Board, but first I have to do some testing that examines my ability to communicate in writing and ability verify and identify information.

I am curious to know if anyone has done a federal government testing before, if so your feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank You!

Do I need a Canadian visa to travel to Canada even if I have an American visa?

Posted March 26th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I require a Canadian visa to enter Canada. However, I have an American visa. Would I still need to apply for a Canadian visa, or will the American visa work?
