I want to move back to Canada. I'm a CND citizen in Poland?

Question

Hi,

I was born in Ottawa, but when I was 6 y.o. my family returned to Poland. I'm 18 now and I still feel more Canadian than Polish. I would love to return.

What should I do to have an easy landing? I have no family or friends in Canada. Can the government help me?

I'm a student.

Answer 1

If you have Canadian citizenship, they shouldn't have any problem with returning there.

As for having an easy landing: make sure of living arrangements ahead of time (a shared house if need be and if they do that sort of thing over there) and if possible, try and secure a (part-time?) job - there's a few sites for that online. I don't know about scholarships in Canada, so you might want to look into that if you want to continue studying.

Alternative option: complete your studies first, then move to Canada OR go live there, work for a while and save up for your studies.

Whichever of these you choose, good luck!

Answer 2

if you're a citizen and you have a canadian passport, there isn't a thing they can do to stop you. if you're a citizen *without* a passport, go on your polish passport and make sure you take the papers you need to apply for one. surely you have a birth certificate? maybe don't bother telling them what you're doing at customs and just act like a tourist, but if they do give you a hassle, just explain. especially if you speak fluent english. it should be okay. if you're a citizen, you have a right to be in canada. as for making friends and a life there, you're probably on your own, but there are job agencies and all kinds of things to help you get yourself sorted out.

Answer 3

I have no idea how your government works but, to give you an idea. The U.S. born in the U.S. you'll always be a U.S. citizen, it can never be taken away from you. So, if the Canadian Government is the same, go to the nearest Embassy and tell them your plight.
