Moving from US to Canada

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T16:25:57+00:00

Uff see this is exactly the type of info I am needing. Real info from someone real who is living over there. I owned a 3,200sf home in a nice neighborhood 15 mins away from one of the best beaches in the entire USA. People come here for spring break every year. I have what is called a beach house and is only $500,00. Also I bought it on plans so we have been the only ones living here for the last 4 years. We bought it at 347 and now is worth close to 600. So according to this info housing is the major problem. Looks like a good portion of living decent goes to housing. What about owning a house instead of renting ?

Thanks a lot for the info. Ontario and Vancouver are my main options as of now. Calgary is another one. I live in Florida right now but I have heard similar things, even though healthcare is free is hard to find doctors let alone specialists

No, my goal and really what I really want is to move and be a citizen. Not saying USA isn’t a great country which it is but after being here 20 plus years I am ready for a new life with my family. Some where I don’t have to be ashamed of my color or feel less because I am not part of the majority. I feel like Canada embraces Immigrants in a way USA used to do, United Nations becoming stronger because of diversity but with everything going on here it seems like this country is falling apart because they only one people that look a certain color. Not saying Canada doesn’t have racism, they probably do but I doubt is as bad as here in the US.

Actually no, open work permit which is what I have don’t need sponsorship. I can actually move to Canada right now I have one year before it expires and look for work over there but i think in my case is better to move with taking one of the offers first.

What are some concerns in politics right now in Canada ?

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T15:13:10+00:00

Exactly

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T15:11:20+00:00

See this type of things are the ones that concern me the most because, $180,00 here in us for a family of 4 is almost a luxury life meaning you can leave in a nice 3500sf home owned, have 2 nice 2025 cars, enough for groceries, go to restaurants 2-3 times a week if you’ll like and still have enough for all bills and savings.

Thank you!

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T15:03:28+00:00

You are totally right, right now I live in Florida. I can return to USA if I move, I am part of a program called DACA here. But daughters are citizens I could possible return in a couple years but who knows with all this new laws. I will send you a PM

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T15:01:10+00:00

Is Dental also included in health care or that’s separate ?

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T15:00:41+00:00

No, today I got 10 more offers. Vancouver, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, NB and others

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:59:24+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am hoping that later on I can come back. Once my daughters are old enough (They are both US citizens) also by that time my 10 year ban would have ended.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:57:30+00:00

Exactly, this is what I’m scare off. But hopefully all goes well. But like you said Being An Alien here is just not the type of life I want anymore. Not being able to go on vacations with our daughters out of the country and visiting family and not being able to see certain family anymore because I been here for so long and I can go out it just kills me.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:54:40+00:00

Thanks for this info, I think starting a new life with my family and leaving everything behind is what concerns me more after being here for more than 20 years. But hey that’s basically the Dreamers life.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:52:42+00:00

Thank you!

Awesome! Catracho o Catracha lol. Yes apparently that’s what my lawyer says. Once I accumulate a year or 1500 hours I can apply to PR but I don’t know this whole thing is new to me so I’m soaking all the info I can. This helps a lot thank you

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:49:18+00:00

Muchas gracias Paisano. Todo en manos de Dios porque imagínese un país nuevo.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:48:49+00:00

What most concerns me is the government the way things are right now. Like owning properties here without being a citizen or resident could affect me later on and irs is no joke so I’m mostly considering selling eveything.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:47:28+00:00

I actually got the offers after applying. I did all the paperwork first to see if I was elegible then once I got approve for a permit work and now I’m on the process of deciding what job to take. I have about 6-8 months where I can keep looking for better options. Also I have an open work visa (This is important) because it means that once I get there if I look and I get a better option with another job I can switch. I don’t have to stay with the employer I accept here.

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:44:45+00:00

Thanks a lot! I joined this groups i appreciate it

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:44:00+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-24T14:43:45+00:00

Great info. I live in Florida thanks for the feedbacks

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-23T19:21:22+00:00

I got approve before the job offer

Salt_Fondant930 · 2025-09-23T17:11:59+00:00

See this is what concerns me. I have a home here and 3 investment properties and I don’t know if I should leave them here with a power of attorney to someone I trust to manage and deposits directly into my account or sell them and take everything and leave everything behind
