Default Divorce in the US, possible move to Canada in the future.....

well, its been an absolute age since i have posted on here!!!

Ok, need some advice from my BE peeps.

I was thinking about a move to Canada at some point in the future. Is it better to be a USC or British Citizen for this, and what if i want to come back to the US? BTW, im self employed but dont really fit into the NAFTA self employment category...

Thanks homies

If you want the opportunity to return to the US then getting USC would be the thing to do before leaving

Defo get your USC...many would give an arm and a leg for it.

My daughter decided to go to a Canadian uni (Toronto)...she is now living and working there. She's just got engaged to a lovely Canadian guy. She is a UKC/USC and will probably become a CC and sponsor her parents.

Simply have a child and set it to work in the emergency room, then you can be on the VIP list that isn't supposed to exist but does.

Do they employ 7 year olds? Surely some sort of nanyish employment legislation would scupper that plan

Once we'd landed Ontario gave our 11 yr old a SIN card so I'd assumed that meant we could send her down a pit to work or alternatively an emergency room?!!
