Millions of Americans are now eligible for Canadian citizenship by descent, due to a change in Canadian law. And as concerns about President Trump’s second term grow, thousands of Americans are gathering paperwork just in case.
I myself am “applying,” but am not doing it “just in case” nor do I intend on moving there. I’m earnestly doing it because Canada is cool, and the spirit and letter of the law is recognizing “lost Canadians” as Canadians. I honestly don’t look at it as an escape route, but ask me again when my son is draft age.
In my case we’ll be staying in Germany, but having an option to move to Canada with our multiple Phds instead of going back to the US (if forced out of Germany for some reason) would be preferable.
We also have some kids who are going to be looking at college in a few years. If they could have an option to to Canada cheap, that’d rock. Then you’d have some more educated Canadians hanging out and paying taxes.
I did make sure to teach the kids the rules of ice hockey. I know it’s on the driving test there, right?
Do we really need a bunch of peops who have been poorly educated (majority at this point) coming here?

Look, it’s ’just In case’.
They think differently, they think everyone wants them around
