Canadian citizenship is kinda hard to get. You need to get permanent residency status first, and for that you need be have a skill which the Government of Canada is looking for. Once you have PR you can apply for citizenship, but I think that you have to of lived in the country for 2 or 3 years first before you can get citizenship. I'm not sure if a school district would hire someone who doesn't have citizenship.

Permanent immigration in North America is a pain in the ass; moving the other way into the US is just as obnoxious. I know a Canadian who's been in the US Army for 4 years, deployed to Iraq, and STILL is waiting to get his US citizenship.

I don't care how long it takes. If I'm more likely to get a job in the long run, then it'll be worth it. I have no issue working shit jobs until that happens.
Hopefully being a teacher is a valuable skill XD

You're a teacher SINCE WHEN

I'm going to college for music education. Since a year now.

That's the thing though, you can't just go there to work a shit job; for that you could possibly look into getting Temporary Residency status but from what I understand it's extremely difficult to go from TR to PR. From what Apparently it usually works out when someone is already employed and has to move for work; like if a big company had you move to Canada due to a shortage of IT guys in their office there. Moving across the border isn't like simply moving to a different state where you can just get a place and look for any job. Immigration is closely scrutinized and very restrictive. They give PR/citizenship based on your job, prior employment and experience, higher education, how in-demand your special skill is, and other bits of your background.

There's also a long backlog. Keep in mind that Canada is a pretty small country with a lot of people looking to immigrate. In cases where someone looking to move to North America can't get US citizenship they'll often try for Canadian. The whole thing sounds like a pain in the ass.

I looked into it a while ago when I got pissed off at Americans for something. lol

lol, I like the last bit. :Þ


Yeah, immigration is a pain in the ass. I've known a lot of people that have to go through the rat maze.

It's not just about having a valuable skill, it's about having a valuable skill they can't currently meet the demand for.

Pwuh. But I don't like this country! :C

Get involved in politics and push for changes that will make you like this country. :Þ

To be realistic though, I think Mike Judge was right when he predicted the future. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy

No way is a vegan, socialist, atheist, panromantic, asexual, sorta genderless person like me ever getting elected in this country.
YES. Love that movie.

Stranger things have happened. :Ð

Besides, you don't have to be elected to make a difference.

And yeah, me too. xÐ

I wish I could believe that -.-

And as for media [arts, music, etc] my school had a few of em, and i know another school I used to go to had a lot of em o-o, I dunno what you're asking exactly, xD

I'm asking if they're getting cut from budgets. I'm assuming their not because Canada actually knows how to manage its economy, but their cutting them like crazy in the US -.- Because y'know, being in debt and all, making taxes makes no sense. Noooo, of course not. Don't cut our absurdly large military budget. Nope. Cut education. It's not important or anything. Of course not...
/end angry sarcastic rant.

But we need more toys

XD

Yes, go to the homeland of Justin Bieber~

Haha, there's that, but the US has Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, etc. I'll take one Bieber over multiple crap artists.
