My question is: Canadian-specific
QUESTION: I would like to buy
a home in Canada and would be interested in
getting a dual US/CDN
citizenship. How difficult is it to get dual
US/CDN
citizenship?

david
ingram replies:
It is 10 x's as easy and much quicker for an American to
get Canadian
Citizenship then it is for a Canadian to get American
Citizenship.
An excellent source of information can be found on the CIC
website at:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomer/guide/index.htmlIndividual
items can be found at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.htmlread
those and see what you think and whether you would qualify to come as
a
skilled worker. To do that you would need to score 67 points on
the
self-assessing test at:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/assess/index.htmlI
get the idea you may be an architect. If so, you can immigrate to
Canada
on a Treaty NAFTA working visa in one day if you have a legitimate job
offer
in your profession. After a couple of years on this temporary
visa, it
would be very easy for you to achieve permanent residence and
then
citizenship status.
Let me know if I or my associates can
help you in a professional manner?
