Americans can come to my country with few limitations (Canada), and it shouldn’t be overly hard to get either dual citizenship or to become a Canadian citizen. Our immigration policies are not nearly as strict as other places and we have a gigantic, and mostly undefended border with the USA. Little more than border guards stand in the way, and as long as you’re not a felon, and you have a legitimate reason to enter the country, you’re welcome here.
We have universal healthcare available to all citizens.
Once here it’s a matter of getting an employer who will sponsor your work visa… Then it’s a pretty clear path to citizenship from there.
We’re not super different from the USA. More taxes, no guns. Some other differences. But we’re like… America lite.
No. I know those areas are kind of playing by their own rules. I’m located in southern Ontario, well outside of the GTA. I don’t want to be any more specific because I don’t want to dox myself.
I expect that for most mid sized cities/towns or rural areas nearby mid sized cities (within an hour or so), the pricing is similar. For the GTA, GVA, or even other large cities like Montreal or Ottawa, the prices are much higher
i’ve been tempted by the prospect of a dual citizenship with canada honestly, not even for the services, i just want to go north and get the fuck away from people lol.
The no guns thing is kind of cringe, but i could live with it.
You can have guns for hunting, it’s regulated and there’s a bunch of rules surrounding it. But nobody is openly carrying them around Walmart or anything.

The news I see over there is that the housing market is even more fucked than the US one, though? Do people mostly rent?
We paid over $700k CAD for a ~3000 sq ft home that’s about 20 minute drive from a major city.
Most places are similar from what I know. A new build up the street from us is asking 1.5m CAD for something much smaller.
I know you aren’t talking about GTA/GVA. At least in the last couple of years

No guns is a bit of an over simplification.

yeah, i’m not big into hunting frankly, if i did own one it would be for either sport, or personal protection since middle of fucking nowhere.
Likely not a huge issue, but it’s definitely something to consider being in america already i suppose.
