"Rudi Kischer, an immigration lawyer in Vancouver, echoed those sentiments in an interview with CTV Vancouver. "Some Americans are a little surprised at how defined the border is and that they actually have to go through an application process," Kischer said. "It's actually fairly difficult to move to Canada."
There are a number of hurdles to moving to Canada, and even more if one hopes to stay. Canada has set a limit for accepting 300,000 new permanent residents in 2017, of which 40,000 will be refugees and 80,000 will be family members of existing Canadians. The remaining 180,000 new permanent residents will mostly be skilled workers who have likely already applied to enter, and are awaiting a years-long paperwork process.
The country also has an Express Entry program, but that process can be challenging if one doesn't have a job offer waiting for in Canada.
Both Kischer and Barry say the easier approach is to move to Canada as an international student or a temporary foreign worker, then apply for permanent residency down the road.
It's either that, or getting hitched to a Canadian."
