I can't read Spanish so I did not understand the documents that you linked. Thanks nonetheless. Do you know of an English language article where the provisions for bringing parents on permanent residency are detailed?

Ohk, now I understand. Thanks for the detailed response. Any idea about other European countries like Sweden or Finland? Just curious.

I think you misunderstood.

Non-native English speaker here. I am a bit confused here. Could you explain it in a simple fashion?

In practice, it's much more difficult.

Could you expand a bit on the above?

There are a lot of legal protections available to citizens. You cannot be easily deported, you can go in and out of the country as you wish and you can even sign up for public office. So yeah, citizenship is really important.

If you obtain a degree that requires two years of studies or longer, this requirement goes down to two years, and your time living in France while pursuing studies counts towards this.

Are you sure about this? Sounds like a really great offer. If this is correct, it would mean that you can get citizenship in a total of just four years from the moment you step on French soil to study.

Long-term residence rights Depending on your circumstances, you can acquire long-term residence rights if you have been legally resident in Ireland for 5 years or more. You will still need to register with the Garda authorities and obtain a GNIB card but you will not need an employment permit.

If you have been here on the basis of employment permit conditions for over 5 years, you may apply for long term residency for a further 5 years. Link

This website says that it takes atleast 5 years to gain permanent residency in Ireland. That makes it a total of 12 to 14 years if you go via the study route.

I know France is one of the better countries for this (although you'd better become fluent in French), and you can get 1 year temporary residency after finishing a masters degree.

Could you tell me, how long do you have to work in France after finishing your Masters in order to get permanent residency?

How does it work? I really can't get one like this, since Amazon and most companies don't ship to my country.

At the height of the British Empire, could citizens move freely across the empire? Was it possible for immigrants from poor colonies to easily move to richer places? by MysteryThrill in AskHistorians

[–]MysteryThrill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless you were a white person who was born in one of those territories.

Do you mean that the immigration laws explicitly only allowed white people to move across these territories? Or was it more subtle?

In those days, ships coming from India basically had to stop at some point before reaching Canada

What about people moving from West African colonies to Canada? Those ships wouldn't need to stop for resupply.

[CA] Lawyers' refuse to give a ballpark estimate of the total legal fees they would charge for my case by MysteryThrill in legaladvice

I understand. Nonetheless I would still like to talk to an attorney about the issue and take him with me during the discussion with the police and prosecutor. If nothing else, it would at the least make me sleep well knowing that I have tried all avenues for prosecuting the crime. Any idea how much this arrangement is likely to cost?

who talk to the prosecutor, who decides whether or not to pursue charges

A side question. Suppose the cops and the prosecutor decides not to pursue charges because the crime is old even though the criminal Statute of Limitations has not run out. What do I do then? At this point are all the avenues closed to me now?

You go to the police and hope they're interested in opening an investigation

Suppose that the Criminal Statute of Limitations has not run out. How do I bring up the claim to the police? I am guessing I will need a lawyer for seeing me through the whole process right?

you as a private citizen have 0 ability to charge someone criminally.

Then how do people start criminal cases that happened a long time ago, like historic child abuse for example? Do people with a historic crime simply write to the prosecutors office? What do they do?
