how ez/hard is it to become a canadian citizen w/all their benefits?

Question

We are American born, Is it true college is free to canadians? Would our children become eligible, if we became citizens? How do we go about relocating, and giving up our rights here in America to become Canadian citizens?? I understand taxes are higher there, but with socialized med. they seem to have a better more equal and fair health care system, than our privitized one that none of us can afford! It just seems to be a better place to live.

Here is an overview of the immigration process: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.html

For more details you might contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate.
Yes it takes a while to become a citizen but if you are a "landed immigrant" you are more or less eligible for the same social welfare benefits (which differ from province to province) as a citizen. Alas, free college/university education is not one of them.

College isn't free. Health care isn't completely free. you do need to pay for supplemental insurance that will take care of optical and dental needs.

Children do need to be registered citizens which can be done when the parents are receive status.

Answer 4

I have heard you cannot get citizenship in Canada unless you are marrying in (someone Canadian) or you can move there and become a citizen if you have a net worth of over $100,000.
