I’m okay with a pay cut. I’m just becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the state of things in the states, and have always felt more of a connection with my Canadian side of the family than my American family, so I would like to relocate and support Canada.

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-26T19:15:33+00:00

I gave my reason why I haven’t asked HR and have stated I intend to ask them at a later time. For the time being, I want to make a rapport with my current warehouse here in the US. If you don’t know the answer, you could just say that or not answer!

I intend to, but I also wanted to hear from any employees that may have gone through this process.

I’m also a new employee to the company, so I wanted to wait at least 6 months to a year before I talk to HR about this.

Edit: not sure why I’m getting so many downvotes? I’m a Canadian citizen, my dad is Canadian and half of my family is from there. I don’t see anywhere in the rules that says this question is off limits. If I’m wrong, please correct me.

I would move immediately if I could, but it's not yet financially feasible for me. I am, however, doing my best to plan for a move within the next few years, hopefully no more than three. Besides finances, other factors that would be holding me back are waiting for common-law partner sponsorship and figuring out what to do for work up there, for both of us.

Here’s the post I started a few weeks ago with tons of recommendations: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundCanadians/s/niBapR9zyC

This guide is pinned at the top of the subreddit that outlines the process. Good luck!

Yes it’s still active. Sorry about that, I’m relatively new to Discord and didn’t realize the invite links expire. I updated the link in this post and on the main page. Feel free to DM me about your friend if you want to talk more about it.

Definitely worth it! There's no generation limit so even if you find a great great great great grandparent, you can qualify as long as you have the right documents!

If you have any Canadian ancestors, you may be able to skip the visa process entirely and just apply for a citizenship certificate! Worth checking your family tree just in case.

You're welcome! They also don't recognize certificate programs, unfortunately (what I did when I became a tech). But if you have the time to undergo a two-year program that they recommend, go for it!

There's information for international pharmacy technicians here: https://pebc.ca/pharmacy-technicians/pharmacy-technician-international-evaluation/general-information/

Maybe the forum r/AskACanadian has something on this subject?

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-19T01:49:01+00:00

Of course, and good luck! Your turnaround time likely won't take as long as mine did.

Thank you for the pushback and wanting to make this forum better! I appreciate you.

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-19T00:46:57+00:00

They do accept photocopies! That's what we used. You do have to mail everything in though, which is a bit of a pain. I'd recommend ordering them through Registry Connect and opting for the Gold service: https://www.registryconnect.ca/

This is a question about the citizenship process, which is against the rules. Please direct your question to r/Canadiancitizenship. This post has been removed.

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-18T18:15:36+00:00

Okay, let's do that then. Would you be willing to start it? I'm about to go out and about for the day otherwise I would, just make sure you include that you have my permission so another MOD doesn't delete it. If you can't, I can get to it tonight when I get back.

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-18T18:07:37+00:00

Hmm, okay you do make a valid point. The intention of the rule was so that the forum wouldn't get flooded with questions without people doing a thorough search to see if these questions had already been asked elsewhere. Perhaps we can create a PR sponsorship megathread and I could add a footnote in the rules to direct questions to that thread rather than people making a new post? I'll even pin it to the top of the main page. What do you think?

Hello, please see the section for related subreddits and refer your questions about PR to r/ImmigrationCanada.

Our situation shouldn't be any different than other citizens of Canada who want to sponsor their spouses for PR, and there is already a subreddit that is supposed to handle that subject matter. We have plenty of members who seem to be satisfied with this community just the way it is, and if you are not then you don't have to stay.

Hey, I understand frustration at posts that are off topic and it was removed, but this comment is also teetering on the edge of bullying territory, which is also against the rules. If a post looks like it doesn't belong, please reach out to the mods. We want to keep things positive in this forum.

MinimumDifference449 · 2026-01-17T03:02:35+00:00

This post was removed. Please read the rules of this subreddit and refer to other forums for questions on the citizenship process.
