Should the US essentially copy the Canadian health care model and integrate it with Canada’s?

Think about it: If we had NAFTA, why can’t we do the same with health care?

Why can’t you travel to Canada and use your health care service in Canada just as a Canadian could do the same when traveling to the US?

If you have dual citizenship in the US and Canada, are you entitled to Canada’s free national health care?

Posted March 17th, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

From what I’ve heard, Canada has free national health care. I want this too, but it looks like the US isn’t going to get it for a while yet. I’m a US citizen who’s thinking of applying for dual citizenship with Canada. This would be only one of the reasons, but it is certainly the most appealing. I just want to know if I am entitled to it if I apply for dual citizenship.

Canada’s new Citizenship guide says no to ‘barbaric’ cultural practices

Posted January 18th, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada


Citizenship guide says no to ‘barbaric’ cultural practices www.canada.com OTTAWA — A new citizenship guide for potential immigrants to Canada flatly declares that new Canadians cannot engage in “barbaric” cultural practices such as genital mutilation and “honour killings.” The new guide, released Thursday by Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, says in a section called “Equality of Women and Men” that such practices are illegal and severely punishable under Canada’s criminal laws. “Multiculturalism doesn’t mean that anything goes. Multiculturalism means that we celebrate what’s best about our backgrounds, but we do so on the basis of common Canadian values and respect for our laws,” said Kenney. “It’s no secret that we’ve seen instances of culturally rooted abuse of women, so-called ‘honour killings,’ forced marriages, and spousal abuse, and even female genital mutilation. We want to make sure that people understand that multiculturalism doesn’t create an excuse to engage in those barbaric cultural practices.” The updated guide, called Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, also puts greater emphasis on the obligations of citizenship, such as getting a job, as well as military history.
