United States Citizenship From Canada.

[Westside]

Anyone know how long it takes to become a citizen in USA if you are a citizen in Canada?

 

[cruddybuddy]

Damn, if you were coming up from Mexico it would be instant. You'll have to wait 100 years.

 

[Westside]

Anyone more serious? I was actually trying to join the US army. I quit the Canadian army for now, and wanted to rejoin. I thought about it, and said that if I wanted more action, it would be US army.

Contact the US Army and see if they can help you.

You want to fight for the most kick ass army in the world? Rock on!

According to Sgt. Star, the virtual cartoon guide to GoArmy.com:

You cannot join the US Army unless you are a US citizen, have a US background, or green card. You can only get a green card if you live in the states for 5 years or marry a US citizen. In order to move to the United States you have to get a resident card. You can obtain a resident card by first getting a job in the US.

So there you have it: either marry a US citizen, or live here legally for 5 years. Then you can join the army.

If you can't wait that long for some action, there's always the French Foreign Legion.

That's not entirely true. My in-laws just got their green cards this past year after waiting almost 7 years for everything to get processed. They were coming from Venezuela though, so it might be quicker from Canada. They didn't live here, but did have the proper travel visas. Going through the proper immigration process takes a LONG time and can be very expensive.

The fastest way is to either just marry a citizen or sign up for the green card lottery. That's how my sister-in-law got hers (the lottery, that is).

Life is not a video game. You don't get to have multiple life's and when you die you don't get a choice of choosing continue on the game over screen.

Nooo if something happened to you Westside, we'd all be sad

Buuttt!! Its your right so choose wisely!!

 

[Westside]

@Da Foxx, I do realize that, and I have experience in the Canadian army before. Recently Canadians are seeing more actions too, and by that I mean getting killed by talibans more often. I know that as long as you are combat comptent you are not likely to be killed.

@nintendofreak, lol thanks for the concern

, if I do not hear from me on this forum for a long time (as I am addicted), check the news, cuz I might be inside the flag covered coffin.

WTF? I see you don't watch news. It was all over fox news ABC news about the recent death count rising of the Canadian Soldiers. We are one of the hardest trained soldiers out there, the reason being that the army is way smaller than US, so we train each of our soldiers extra hard. US army just gets to have more action in Iraq. In afghanistan, it's mainly waiting for a bomb or landmine to instantly kill you.

So soldiers dying is controlled media? I know of Private Vincent Kennedy back in the training days, he was definately killed as a war hero. I love how people consider most of our news controlled media and criticize them, while most of it is actually true. Once in a while they do have crap, but I watch the news, and I can confirm quite a few of them.

I wanted to do that too! But first I wanted to know if it's possible at all.

Give me a break, everyone with more than fifty brain cells knows that the American media is complete bullshit. It's hardly even worth arguing about.
