Sorry for the Dumb A$$ answers! It really depends on the immigration status of your friend once he/she arrives in Canada. More likely than not he will be a Canadian Resident which is equal to our I-551 holders (Immigrant -or- Permanent Resident). He will need to apply for a visitor visa and will be subject to all the restrictions that come with the visa. He/She will also be issued a I-94 which will indicated his maximum period of admission into the United States...

Easy is a very relative word. Immigrating to Canada (or any other country for that matter) involves filling a lot of paperwork and paying fees. Significant wait times are also involved.\n\nAll the information on how to immigrate to Canada can be found on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/ see under "to immigrate"\n\nThe process involved is very straightforward, if you read everything carefully you should have no problem. If you have a specific question, you can post the question on a forum and people will be happy to answer you but nobody will fill your paperwork for free... \n\nonce you reach Canada and become a permanent resident, you can apply to be Canadian citizenship after 3 years of continuous residency.

It depends on why you are coming to Canada--if you are intending to move here as a permanent resident, there are limits to how often you can leave the country for your first year here.

All the information about Immigrating to Canada can be found on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/\nIt is the only website you need to look at.\n\nYou can't just move to Canada and be able to work there legally. To apply for Canadian citizenship you must first become a permanent resident and after 3 years of continuous uninterrupted residence you can apply for citizenship.\n\nAs and American you have 3 choices to work in Canada:\n\n1)Apply for a NAFTA worker status (the easiest)\n Must have a bachelor degree, work experience and job offer.\n To get this status you simply go to the Canadian border\n with your proof of qualifications and job offer and you \n get status on the spot. You must renew it once a year.\n2) Work visa. \n  Apply at the Canadian Embassy with your job offer. \n3) Apply for permanent residency:\n  Take this test to see if you qualify:\n   http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/assess/index.html\n\nOnly option 3 provides a path to citizenship. The first 2 (no matter how long time you spend in Canada) won't allow you to apply for citizenship.

To be technical, you are NOT a British subject now.  However, there is a possibility that you could have a right to become one if you so wished.\n\nIn 1982, when Margaret Thatcher's government changed the laws on British Nationality, many people who nwould have previously been entitled to British Nationality were excluded.  You say your father was 'technically a British Subject'.  If by this you can demonstrate that he was ACTUALLY a British Citizen (i.e. actually had a British passport or was entitled to one), then you would (under British Law) probably have the right to British Nationality.\n\nThis right (if proved) would be subject to US laws (I am assuming you are a US citizen) on dual nationality as described by another answerer.  In this case, it is probable that it is the US laws that would hinder your taking up of a British passport, not British laws.\n\nHowever, if you are a CANADIAN citizen, the (Canadian) laws on dual nationality are (I think) less draconian and you may be able to claim your British citizenship without affecting your Canadian citizenship rights.\n\nAs of last year, there are also now rules on demonstrating knowledge of life in Britain when applying for British Nationality.

As of right now, there will be no change at the Canadian border\n\nOn the U.S. side you will need to produce a passport like everyone else. You'll still be allowed to freely cross for work and what not as before.

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.

Don't know that there is one.  Check out "immigrating to Canada" via Google.  I understand the Canadians treat everyone very well, even if they don't deserve it.

Every country has it's own way of dealing with illegals.  Right now just as in the 60's many military deserters are going illegally into Canada from the U.S.  They can apply for refugee status on the grounds of persecution (going to war or being imprisoned for desertion).  Few have been granted this however and if denied they can appeal to the Canadian Minister of Immigration that they be allowed to stay on "compassionate" grounds.  Without refugee or compassionate status however an illegal cannot work or get insurance and basically has few if any rights.\n\nThe Philippines has laws that state that someone can be jailed for up to 3 years and be fined thousands of dollars if they are illegally in the country.  Despite their "love of America" immigrating to the Philippines is difficult and generally foreigners cannot own property or legally work. (there are some exceptions that involve LOTS of money).   Certain ethnic backgrounds are treated more harshly than others when it comes to being punished.\n\nIn the United Kingdom, it's status as a member of the European Union means that it recognizes the right for the "free movement of people".  This doesn't mean however that anyone who wants to can just come into the country.  Illegal immigration has been a hugely debated issue, however even with the desire for more controlled immigration, the UK is still civilized about how it deals with illegals.  Depending on the level of their immigration breech, penalities are not as severe as most countries and an amnesty policy is being considered.
