A. www.cic.gc.ca is the immigration web site. Basically you have to have something to offer Canada, and the one of you that has the most to offer (points by education, skill, training, languages) should be the primary applicant for permanent resident status, if you can claim common-law spouse. Animals really aren't much of a problem as long as you have proof of their vaccination history. It is much more complicated for people but the web site details the things you must do and lets you add up your points and see if you will likely be accepted.

How does Canada manage to maintain such a low murder rate compared to America?
Q. It's really amazing - Canada's national murder rate is THREE times lower than the rate in the US. How do they pull this off? Are Canadian cops simply three times more competent than the cops in America, or what? What can we learn from Canada when it comes to bringing down the murder rate? Why is America failing in this regard compared to Canada? Who is to blame, and how can we correct this crisis?

A. for starters fix your prison system its the largest in the world and easily one of the most ineffective too many people in prison for minor drug offences first off second people go in for minor crimes, learn the tools of the trade from inmates, join gangs and then bring that to the outside world where they become better criminals and work in the same gangs they were a part of in prison we also didnt have a huge slave population that suddenly were free and then not given any support and generations later they are still at a disadvantage and turn to crime to make up for that discrepancy

How badly is Canada affected by the financial crisis?
Q. If the US goes under and the US Dollar starts to lose value, will Canada be there worst affected country since the US is the biggest trading partner? Also, how much debt does Canada have compared to the US? I've read the Canada survived the great depression pretty well with only a dozen bank failures compared to over 600 on the US side, what do you think is the deal now?

A. Canada is much better off than the U.S. because our banks did not get caught up in the mortgage meltdown that occurred in the US. How ever there is currently a global recession going on which Canada can not escape from. The US dollar will probably sell off making our exports to the US more expensive putting pressure on our economy.

What do you think about Canada trying to get the US to change environmental laws so they can sell more oil?
Q. The US currenlty refuses to buy oil from canada from any new sites. The US will only buy oil from old sites. But canada wants to drill in new sites, and they want the US to buy it. Canadian lobbyists are all over Washignton trying to get the law changed. What do you think of this. Why do you think the media does't cover it. And do you think it's okay for canada to do this because it's canada. How would you feel if Americans did this?

A. ok :T J , first of all we are NOT occupying Haiti, we don't have anything to do with Haiti except that our governor general is from there. Also, we are not interested in "trashing" the U.S. . Why don't you get your facts straight, you narrow-minded bigot. In regards to the question, Canada is not imposing laws to sell more or less oil. I'm sure that if we did change the laws it wouldn't matter.

How is life in Canada different from the United States?
Q. I'd like to know if there are any differneces in the lifestyle of Canada as opposed to the US. Here in the US people always seem to be stressed out about work and finances. Of course there is always that stigma that Americans are rude. However, I've heard that people in Canada are much nicer. So I'm wondering if the quality of life in Canada is different, or is it just basically the same?

A. In Canada it's harder to start a business and be entrepreneurial but easier to pursue the arts because the government subsidizes art there. In Canada you pay higher taxes but you get something back for it; schools, medical care and a decent retirement plan. In the US most of your tax money goes to support the military and you have to pay for school and medical care out of your own pocket. In some places you also have to pay separately for garbage removal, police and fire services (on TOP of the local tax you've already paid). Plus in the US unless you work for the government you have no guaranteed sick leave, no maternity leave and no pension plan. Americans have to plan everything for themselves and finance it out of what they earn… [cont.]

What should I know about Denmark to Canada emigration procedures?
Q. Specifically, what does the law says about procedures to follow for a Danish citizen moving permanently to Canada? Where should he start? What papers does he need, from Canada, and Denmark? What can he do to get a Visa quickly, or to pass the citizenship test when he gets to Canada? Would it accelerate the entire procedure by obtaining a marriage license while in Canada? I have heard of the concept of an international "invitation" that a citizen can send to someone in another country, to fast-track their passage into the inviter's country. Is this the case for Canada and Denmark?

A. Here is a Canadian site dealing with immigration to Canada: The site includes a newcomers introduction to Canada and links to the different classes of immigration. The following link has the various immigration forms: There are no specific procedures (at least from Canada's standpoint) for immigrating from specific countries such as Denmark. Being able to speak & write both English and French (this is a huge plus), no criminal record, having job skills that are needed in Canada all count towards how quickly one's application will be processed.

How do you obtain Sodium metal in Canada or transport it across the border?
Q. I cannot find anywhere in Canada to buy pure Sodium metal. Most places on the internet list it as a restricted material. I found Sodium being sold on eBay but only in the United States. They will not ship it internationally as the Postal Service does not allow it to be sent out of the country. I can have it shipped to a friend in the United States and have them bring it back to Canada the next time they travel. Will the airlines allow Sodium to be carried on a flight or to be put in checked baggage? If not, can it just be driven across the border? Another suitable solution for me would be to find someone selling it in Canada for a reasonable price. Does anyone know if there is somewhere an ordinary person can buy Sodium in Canada? Thanks.… [cont.]
Asked by Natrium - Tue Oct 9 01:13:57 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although sodium metal is a restricted material, it CAN still be shipped to/within Canada if declared as a hazardous material and transported by special courrier. As a material that's regulated by Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, it is usually not a good idea to bring the item across the US border undeclared. Also, it canNOT be transported by air, ground only. If you can provide proof/ background of the kind of research you are doing with the sodium and you need a reasonable amount of metal, I may be able to help.

Asked by Captain - Mon Mar 10 05:16:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Our equivalent of the IRS is the Canadian Revenue Agency, the CRA Truthfully, it doesn't take any certification to do taxes (some tax places hire people off the street, and give them some training) although there are courses available. CPA is an American designation, but it is respected in Canada. Many Canadians get one, and you can get a job with one (the US is our biggest trading partner, after all). There are three formally recognized financial designations in Canada: Chartered Accountant (CA); Certified General Accountant (CGA); and Certified Management Accountant (CMA).

A. Time travel perhaps? I don't know if this counts in your case but there is such a thing as a "returning residents permit" which allows you to be outside of the country for a period of time without loosing your permanent resident status. IT does cost and there are limits but it is possible to stay out long and still keep your status...to a point. You will need to make a decision one way or the other about if you want your status. If you want it bad enough it's worth working for.

A. If you've already printed the shipping label, the measurements are specified in order to pay for the shipping price. You just have to attach the label onto the package and put it in the mail. For instance, if you chose "Thick envelope or small package" it will calculate for you. However, it asked for the weight to charge your account for the label. You may wish to verify what you entered.
