CanadaHow Canada Stole the American Dream
QUOTE (milwaukeegirl @ Jul 2 2008, 03:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't understand why there are so many forums on visa journey centered on Canada vs. America topics. Why so much competition as to who is better? As an American (like many of my friends), I live within my means, do not have a huge debt, and I have an active sex life, thank you very much. I guess I'm just feeling offended by all of the Canada is better posts that I've been reading today. Reading this article has just offended me further. I've been wanting to ask, "If Canada is so amazing, then why don't you move back?" This remark would just bring on defensive remarks though, which I don't really want.
The only foreign country that I ever lived in was England, but even when I found things about England that I disliked in comparison to America, I always tried to be respectful. I don't know any Canadians besides my husband's friend Jess. In all honesty, I never took the time to get to know her. She immediately separated herself from myself and my American friends when she snottily announced at Universal Studios "Americans love their theme parks." She spent the day bashing Americans and complaining about how fat and uncultured we were. Funny how she was at Universal Studios, along with huge amounts of British and other foreign tourists. How hypocritical.
I'm not going to bother defending American culture, because I'm not going to change anyone's views. But it's very rude and unfair to generalize Americans into stereotypes.

you gotta watch them canadians. they are evil. they show up with tim horton's, tire money, and i'll never forgive them for introducing the usa to celine dion.

this article just adds to what I've been telling my husband for years, quality of life in Canada is much better than in the US. Now its not just My Opionion, but some guy who writes for McLean's as well. wink.gif

Which is of course why we're starting the paperwork to move to Canada, just in case you were wondering milwaukeegirl.

my sister works for Canadian Tire. When she used to work in the Pit Stop (gas station) she got to keep all the "leave behinds" (Canadian Tire money that customers didn't take with them). She used to be able to buy all kindsa #### at CT with all her coupons! At employee discount too!

she's part of the conspiracy to end life as we know it in the usa! protest6wz.gif

*sigh..

Someday I hope the rest of the world "allows" us Canucks to be Patriotic and Proud of our Nation without having to feel ashamed for it...

My two cents is just because I MOVED here, doesn't mean I instantly change into an American. I moved here for the love of a good man, one I couldn't find in Canada.. that's it.. I am learning to appreciate my new home, but it's not my Country. I'm transplanted here for a while and someday I will be placed back in the wild field from whence I came.

Hopefully that's enough hippy talk to convince you all that I AM CANADIAN!!!!! star_smile.gif

Are you talking about USCIS recommendations OR Canadian government recommendations for Canadians? USCIS holds everyone to the same vaccination standards regardless of country. Differences in recommendations may be due to the age of the immigrant.



I'm talking about requirement regarding the US visa k-1 application (USCIS) but I read it on a canadian tread..

Reading VJ can help me sometimes and other times it confuse me more loll laughing.gif


Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

here's the uscis list:

-- Acellular pertussis
-- Hepatitis A
-- Hepatitis B
-- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
-- Influenza
-- Influenza type b (Hib)
-- Measles
-- Meningococcal
-- Mumps
-- Pneumococcal
-- Pertussis
-- Polio
-- Rotovirus
-- Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids
-- Varicella
-- Zoster

Yea last night we were being really unrealistic and thought Arizona would be a great place to move to. I have bad luck, always have...but I think its now passing to him. Poor guy.

Its not a big company, theres no HR, this has happened to other employees. I told him months ago to watch his back. But he always felt secure in his job...he had no reason not to he did a good job. Its a 6 person design firm in Centre city, apparently they get enough work for a 20 people design firm though...so you can imagine, the staff there is overworked.

He's going to confront his boss today about it. I don't think its a mistake, its how they got rid of some of the other designers. Its always just before they hit their 2 year mark too. Odd.

what happens at 2 years that is significant to an employee?
