Why is it that so many Germans emigrated to the US but very few emigrated to Canada?

Posted April 30th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

The only people of “German” descent in Canada that I have met are of Russian mennonite extraction and their “German” lineage actually originates in the low countries or Switzerland. Very few people actually from Germany ever emigrated to Canada.
Maybe the Poles yeah, but Ukrainians came here for all the land grants they were given to farm. They were never given such grants in the US.
Much was the same case for Russian Mennonites I guess though. Most of them traveled over with the Ukrainians I believe.

How can a UK citizen become a US citizen?

Posted April 29th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

*Apologies for the length of this message/question* ๐Ÿ™‚

I am a UK citizen (living in Scotland all my life) and for years I have wanted to live in the United States. I have many reasons for wanting to live there – the vast range of opportunity than seems unparalleled, the fact that it is the most diverse country in the world, and that it seems like a fantastic place to live… (although the UK isn’t the worst place to live, I really don’t like a lot of things here, and well, my aspiration is to live in the US).
I have been to the US before and even though I was young at the time I really loved it, and now that I am older I am really considering living there permanently in the future – I am 16 years old at the moment and have one year left at high school. I plan on going to university after high school, although I am not entirely sure what it is I will study for a degree, but it’ll surely be something that interests me and is valued by employers (not just in the UK). I will be 17 when I start university, and a degree here usually lasts 4 years, so I will be 21…22 years old when I finish my degree. How long after I obtain my degree should I start the process of getting temporary or working visas, to then proceed to hopefully getting citizenship later in the future?? – I would obviously rather emigrate sooner to the US rather than later ๐Ÿ™‚

Having done some research online to find out how I can potentially go about becoming a US citizen in the future, I believe (from what I have seen) that it s a very difficult process and many people are unsuccessful (I assume because the US is a popular place for immigrants, and they can’t have everyone overtaking the place). It looks like a very complex and confusing process. I heard that the process of obtaining citizenship in the US is much harder for UK citizens than those of other countries – is this true??
I understand that you must first live in the US for a certain period of time (minimum of 2 or 3 years?) before you can apply for citizenship… what confuses me is that if you are living “temporarily” in the US with a work visa or whatever, then you are basically living the life of a citizen, aren’t you?? Except you don’t you have the title of “citizen”. So do you just renew your visa to ensure you can keep on living in the US until you have lived there for long enough to apply for citizenship?? I am struggling to find clarification on this, so any clarification from anyone would be great ๐Ÿ™‚
*apologies if that part was confusing, but I am quite confused in that area :)*

Furthermore, I have no suitable relatives that are US citizens (ie. brother, parent, etc), so I am basically “alone” in finding my way, that’s how it feels anyway. Also, I heard that it is easier to just marry a US citizen, and you are on your way quickly, but I am not intending on doing this simply for the purpose of potentially becoming a US citizen…

Basically, I am wondering how I can start the process of becoming a US citizen in the future (I understand that it will take a few years as I am only 16 just now, and I can’t really start trying to obtain temporary residence in the US until after I finish university, and have work experience?… but it’s better to get information and try and plan ahead I guess). What age should I start the process? How long does it generally take? … ๐Ÿ™‚
My dad had a job with the Migration Bureau agency in the UK (Scotland), which dealt with people wanting to move to, I think specifically: Canada, New Zealand and Australia (I’m not sure if the US was in there…), but I am hoping he can use his knowledge and experience of some other processes of emigration/immigration to help me…
However, I would really love to hear from other people here ๐Ÿ™‚
If you are a person with the same aspirations as me (wanting to live in the US), or if you are someone who has become a US citizen via this whole process, I would really love to hear from you ๐Ÿ™‚ hopefully you can give me advice and also tell me what it is like, I would really appreciate that ๐Ÿ™‚
Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

*I notice this is a very long message to further explain my question, and I apologize for that and also if it is rather confusing in places ๐Ÿ™‚ I am new to yahoo and this website (as in I just got an actual account) so I am a little unsure how it all works ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway, I hope someone can answer my question with some advice or an interesting/informative story about there own relevant experience :):)*

Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

Why does Canada have such a low population in comparison to the size of the country?

Posted April 27th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

Canada has roughly over 30 million people or so, yet the land size is gigantic. At a time where most countries are heavily overpopulated, Canada’s population is very low. Why is that?

I always thought a higher population is economically better because it ensures more production. So why is it so hard to immigrate there if they have all that space?
But there is so many people in the East and on the West Coast. But almost nobody who lives in places like Winnipeg. That’s also not in the far north. So, there is so much space, yet so few people living there.

Mexico City has a population that is about 70% of all of Canada’s, and that is only a city. Compared to the second largest country on earth.

Do you suspect that Canada, Mexico and the USA will merge like the European Union?

Posted April 27th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I suspect that soon the countries of America, Mexico and Canada will soon start a common currency and soon will be linked in some kind of North American Union. Like the EU in Europe.

Do you support such a move and do you expect it to happen?
