Hi there. I too am a U.S. citizen researching what is required to access the Canadian Healthcare system. My understanding is that you must be one of the following; A permanent resident, a citizen, or a foreign worker. Lymphoma is very serious indeed and you will probably need alot of follow up care. This could run you hundreds of thousands of dollars here in the US. if you don't have health insurance, and not too much less if you do! Many insurance companies are now turning cancer patients claims away. This won't even include all the heartache and stress you'll endure fighting with them to get them to pay your bills. If I had a disease as serious as yours I would RUN NOT WALK towards Canada and turn in my U.S. citizenship if neccessary. I am a Natural Healthcare Practitioner in Colorado and would also recommend that you look into Hulda Clark's Canadian Clinic where they offer natural healthcare for cancer. They truly have cured many people so I would start there or at many of the other wonderful natural clinics first (these are NOT free but cost alot less than U.S. healthcare). Then if you lived in Canada and needed to fall back on Canadian healthcare or utilize both approaches at the same time you can do so without losing everything you own and therefore forego the stress which will harm your immune system even more! Best Wishes to you! Leigh Schreiber
