That's not particulary different than here. Which is my point. Canada is not particularly easier than the U.S.



But we're not moving towards making it more difficult...There was an amendment made to the immigration process (which is where your information is coming from) that was a direct result of post 9/11 hysteria. That amendment is being dismantled, as it flies in the face of Canadian ideals. Some of the more recent amendments have allowed visiting students to hold jobs during thier tenure and looking at ways to expedite the process of attaining citizenship. The tiered system of citizenship slipped into action on the coat tails of a larger bill (the issue escapes me at the moment) and has been thoroughly criticized by government and citizenry alike.

Get back to me on the state of affairs and any similarities between the US and Canada in acouple years.

If karma's a bitch, it will be my bitch!
