Canadian responds to Trump supporters who want to move to Canada: "Stay the fuck AWAY!"

[George II]

39. An American almost has to be "sponsored" to move to Canada or, as you say, have a degree....

....that would benefit their economy or lifestyle.

Most of my family (mother's side) lives in Ontario, so I probably could have worked something out to be allowed in legally by having one vouch for me regardless of my education/profession (I was an engineer* before retiring).

As it turns out, when we lost our mother nine years ago, going over paperwork and other documents we learned that there's an obscure law that was passed in the late 1940s. Anyone who has at least one Canadian parent, is automatically a Canadian citizen if born after 1947. I was born in 1948, so I'm a Canadian citizen even though born in Brooklyn. I can move up there anytime I want, but being 72 that's a huge life change.

*even though degreed from a top US engineering school, I couldn't simply work as an engineer up in Canada. I would have to go through the qualification steps to become licensed to practice engineering.
