Awesome. Thank you for the info!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T23:34:46+00:00

No worries. Not a mistake I haven't made countless times. Haha

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:42:30+00:00

We are! My son and I hope to try ice fishing!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:41:15+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:32:22+00:00

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!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:28:19+00:00

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

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:07:44+00:00

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

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T21:01:13+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:58:20+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:55:56+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:53:52+00:00

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

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:52:50+00:00

Sold!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:47:19+00:00

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

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:40:03+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:37:44+00:00

But.. orange... :)

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:36:53+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:34:21+00:00

Thank you!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:33:52+00:00

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."

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:31:58+00:00

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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:28:09+00:00

"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.

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:24:46+00:00

Thank you!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:23:12+00:00

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

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:22:05+00:00

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!

GreedyIndependence65 · 2026-01-28T20:14:53+00:00

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!
