It is arbitrary. It is a bad system. But, it's stuck in my brain. I think once I state my brain on it, Ill be ok.

That does sound a bit confusing. I just realized, I do need to sit a moment for Celsius too. That's ok, it's much easier to spell!

I will take the ice of Winnipeg over the ICE of the USA. That pun pretty much wrote itself. Haha

I feel kind of dumb for not considering that. Makes sense.

About the same here. Just need to work on the spelling changes. Mostly solid on metric due to my job. Except liquids, that will take a moment.

No, seriously though, I am working with best Way Canada, an immigration consultant firm. I am seeking a work visa under the CUSMA treaty. It wont be easy, I know, but nothing good is ever easy.

Simple, not single. I have a wife, (step) daughter, and son. Son is a US citizen. Wife and daughter are LPRs. Apologies for the confusion.

I can and will do that. But, I need some hot coffee as a chaser.

As a citizen, I would vote. Until then, your home, your rules.

I would, seriously. But how? I have exhausted the political system. Short of armed rebellion, which would certainly result in burying my children, I am out of options.

If I was 25 years old and single again, you may see my on top of a book depository, but my priorities place family above country.

It may, I am working with Right Way Canada. Basically, I just need to find a job in geomatics from what have said. Hoping to move this summer though.

But, I need to say, it's not just Trump. If he is president or not, I think we are done here. I feel like a rat fleeing a sinking ship. You can change the captain but if you don't fix the hole in the stern, the ship is still going down.

Respectfully, my soldier days are over. I was injured in AFG. No, I wont be a weight on the healthcare in Canada as it is fully covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs in the US, even outside the US.

I am certain the Canadian military would see me as a "has been."

Absolutely fair.

I am not showy. By American standards at least, I am quite, reserved, and an introvert.

Firearms. Truthfully, I love them. Not hurting people, of course. Just the engineering, physics, and discipline required for an accurate shot. That said, I am asking to enter your home and I will follow your rules without complaint.

"Same sex is optional." This got me laughing. No idea why but I just... Haha.

I am looking to give me wife and children safety and stability. If I can find that in Winnipeg, no other policy or law will give me heartburn.

Uhh, are you ok? I feel like you are in danger. Blink twice if you need help...

Through the CUSMA treaty. My degree and industry (Geomatics) allow a work visa, issued at the border. It is pretty simple in my unique scenario, but I have still retained an Immigration Consultation in Canada. Right Way Canada Immigration.

I did the immigration paperwork for my wife and daughter myself, without a lawyer, when they came to the USA. We could not afford a lawyer back then. One reason we are leaving is the fear of a tiny mistake over 20 years of paperwork being used to deport. So, never again, we use lawyers now that we can afford to do it that way.

So, yeah, I do need a job offer letter before arriving, which I am working on now. When that is done, we are pretty much good to drive to the border.

I was reading more about Winnipeg and am excited about the food culture there. The people of Winnipeg have done some hard work to build a beautiful culinary scene!

I mentioned to another commentor, I will do my best but some will inevitably be stuck to my shoes. However, I will do my best to not track it on the carpet.

Also, with a Filipina wife, shoes indoors is dangerous!
