I will be calling the Canadian Embassy tomorrow in order to get the process ready. Just wanna be careful Just incase anything happens. As they say it's better to safe than sorry.
No. My 80+ parents are still with us, so Im not going anywhere. Im pretty sure the only work I could get, say in Canada, would be minimum wage. My wife is bi lingual and speaks French like a native and could probably do all right. We did re up our passports last year though. Nah, if things go seriously sideways, I'm going to be in the resistance. I pass. I'm white, have a military background, am a lower case evangelical Christian, and I have passing reverance for the American flag and the singing of the national anthem before ball games. And I think our 250th anniversary ought to be more party than, say, a chance to look inward and backward in the hopes of learning from our mistakes.
I say this with all due concern for your collective mental well-being: If you believe in conspiracy theories like “The guy from ‘The Apprentice’ is going to send out death squads to exterminate me”, you probably could benefit from some psychiatric consultation.
I did some research into the process and it seems like it would be overwhelming. Maybe if we were younger (I'm retired). Also, there is no guarantee that we would be happier in Canada, Costa Rica, etc.
I’ll be in the resistance, but may send my family abroad. We will be able to leave if necessary. I’m actually putting a huge remodel on hold until the election results.
I understand everyone's circumstances are different, but my retired brother and his husband moved to Costa Rica last year and it didn't seem that overwhelming for them. There were obstacles, of course, and they made what I consider to be some mistakes. The biggest obstacle was that my brother goes by his middle name instead of his first name, so he had to get documents reissued with his full name used - this included his marriage license in order to make it easier for his husband. Their mistakes involved car-buying and not having spent more time in the country before the move. That said, they seem to be enjoying themselves there. My sister and her husband also moved to France last year. It's been fairly easy even though my sister is not yet officially French (unlike me she never previously declared dual nationality and only applied for it about the time they decided to move (the paperwork for that is still tied up in bureaucracy, but the delay with that has not caused any further issues).
I'm not planning on leaving but I'm also under no illusions that things are naturally going to end well. Most of my relatives were murdered in the Holocaust so, by virtue of being alive today, I have a genetic propensity to get the fück out before things turn too sour. Being a dual citizen that works remotely doesn't hurt.
Troll or bot.......I guess those scumbags feel empowered now.... So the dude is in Chad and is 84 yr old....what clown...\ Birthday: Jun 12, 1940 (Age: 84)
Allow me to quote myself from another thread Also, I really enjoy the people in here who are all like “OH MY GOD THE FOURTH REICH IS COMING! But I can’t leave America, it’s too much paperwork.” So many drama queens who don’t even believe their own bs.
