Well... There was that time the RCMP provided bogus, seemingly fabricated information to the CIA resulting in Meher Arar's extraordinary rendition and ten months of torture. For no obvious reason.
No, you'll do something worse. You'll send me back to America. :(
Sorry to be a pedant, but it's Salvadoran, not "El Salvadorian".
Unless you’re indigenous. Then you’ll get thrown into a mass grave, and the authorities won’t do a thing about it when you’re discovered.
...Which is no longer happening
Bullshit. Plenty of studies and news stories covering the continued violence against Canadian indigenous, and the refusal of the government to properly address or investigate the problem.

I wouldn't risk it Canada. The US is diseased and the illness needs to run its course.
Does this imply there is a Canadian process to throw people into an El Salvadorian Gulag?
Only during war time when they get feeling like Geneva checklist.
But we will sterilize you without your permission if you are a native!
Yeah, but foreign visitors wouldn't have to worry about that.
Will you do that for non natives too? Asking for me
Get a good tan and I'm sure they will find time for you.

so many people in my life are talking about leaving to come to BC. are trump refugees something you guys would actually be cool with? I know some people in the world would resent us for not staying and doing what we can to clean his shit show up
I'm not gonna blame anyone for fleeing fascism. At least if you leave, they're not getting your tax dollars* or labour.
That said, be aware that there is a housing crisis in Canada, and it's most severe in the metro Vancouver area.
*I think you would actually have to renounce US citizenship for this to be true, but I'm also unsure how aggressively the IRS would pursue tax collection from emigrants.
that's fair we have a house shortage too but not because of a shortage of houses. I came from an area were people were fighting eachother for places to live so I don't personally want to exacerbate your guys' situation. I'll keep studying languages, thank you for your answer

If you want to come to BC, prepare to make less money and pay more for housing
As so.eone whose rent has doubled in 4 years without moving, I've been prepping for that for years.
No, but if the US decides to label you a felon for any reason, or no reason at all you can't go to Canada.
Notice how the US Government is declaring the anti-elon stuff to be terrorism? Do you remember what Edward Snowden showed us about the type of spying that the US is capable of, and authorized to do in the name of 'counter-terrorism'?
The US is about to invent a lot of new 'felons' and 'terrorists' and other countries, including Canada, will deny them entry and asylum.
France doesn't extradite if death penalty or bad shit like this is on the table. So there is a strong chance you wouldn't get deported these days even as a "sans papier" (illégal alien). Is Canada not similar?
Canada has the same policy. It was challenged and allowed to lapse by Harper, though, IIRC. I wouldn't bet my life on it today.
No. When there were large bunches of refuges trying to escape from camps from the middle east, Canada refused entry to any any male 16 years or older for asylum. Women and small children were okish, but males were right fucked and flat refused. And I think that's still on the books yet today.
Canada, for all the "feel good" they have from others in the world, has as much history of cruelty to outsiders as any other western nation. And don't look to closely into why the Geneva Convention exists today either. They just hide it better.
Well, young guys that are not immediately employable are gonna be super difficult to integrate, to be fair. It sounds like a recipe for disaster unless you have a solid way to help them and what country actually has that, really?

France refused asylum to Snowden when the US thew their weight around
He wasn't in France at the time, though. Once you're in, though, we're not supposed to kick you out if we know you might get killed. This may actually have evolved in recent years, sadly.
But diplomacy is a bitch yeah.
I reckon it would be a very different answer if he made his request right now, though!
I absolutely disagree with all this garbage, and I refuse to leave. I played chess with a Venezuelan homie in a shelter several times and i think one time he pretended to lose his queen, because he always otherwise destroyed me. I guess i shouldn't worry anymore, because why would i care if my friend was sent away
I'm like 3 steps away from applying for Permanent Residence. The best year of my life was when I worked in Toronto, and that was before the orange turd came back in and expedited my desire to be literally anywhere but here.
You guys taking electricians? I'm pretty sure I can chug syrup, and I can start using "eh" more, eh?
Yes.
Most trades are provincial jurisdiction (including electricians), so pick a province and look at their requirements for foreign trained electricians.
For example, to get your ticket in Ontario you'll need to look into the trade 309A (Construction and Maintenance Electrician) or 442A (Industrial Electrician), verify your work experience, and take an equivalency exam to test your knowledge. I'd recommend reading up on CEC requirements (very similar to NEC but there are differences).

Excellent. This is exactly the kind of advice I've been looking for. Thank you!
No problem!
I should also mention that electricians are part of the federal Red Seal program, so once you're licensed you can pretty easily move provinces without needing to recertify (though you still have to register with that province's trades regulator and follow their regulations instead).
Don't know about electricians specifically but AFAIK we have a general shortage of skilled trades related to construction so I wouldn't be surprised if we are short on electricians too. You'd probably have to do some recertification.
You joke, but that shit is infectious.
I would, the problem is getting back into the US.
Screw going back. If I had an easy way to leave the country and renounce my US citizenship to become the citizen of a different nation, I would. Not sure if I'd necessarily want to do so in Canada, seeing as its southern border is touching this rotten hell-on-earth icon of hubris, but it would still be a welcome start.
I have a job and family here, and this is where my wife’s support system is. Uprooting her and taking her away from the kids and the rest of the family would be a huge decision to make.
We’ve legitimately discussed it, but in the short term we decided me leaving the country, even for work, just can’t happen. If they are revoking green cards on a whim… I just can’t chance it.
I really wish this were an exaggeration.
As someone in the US, believe me, I do too.
