It was the Homestead Act that allowed citizens, as well as people who were looking to gain citizenship, to claim a particular area of land for farming. The first version of the act was signed into law in 1862.

What are the 3 steps of naturalizaton?

When an individual takes actions to become a legal U.S citizen, this is called naturalization. In most circumstances, the person seeking to be naturalized has held a green card / permanent visa for a long period of time before she or he takes the steps towards naturalization.

How do you get citizenship in Canada if you are a American?

Be sure you have looked into the American Government system before you make any long term plans. It is falling apart. Also the health care system here is pathetic. How can I become a Canadian citizen? * haha the previous poster is right .. America isn't what it used to be (thanks to our current "leaders"). That said, it is very difficult to become an American citizen. Unless you have immediate family who are American citizens, or are a highly skilled/college educated person, it can be next to and including, impossible. Good luck! * No editorializing on this one. Just as any other immigrant to the United States, a Canadian can take out American citizenship after living in the U.S. without a criminal record for five years and passing a test in American civics and history. Recently Pam Anderson did, so the U.S. is not really all that picky. (Oops, I forgot about the no editorializing!) Also, as a Canadian, I'd like to say that you are welcome to move into my basement. We'll see what happens in November, but 4 more years of a Republican executive might mean that I need to buy a bigger house ;-)

What is the difference between citizen and immigrant?

A citizen is a person who is legally recognized as a member of a specific country, typically having the rights and responsibilities associated with that status, such as voting and taxation. An immigrant, on the other hand, is someone who moves to a different country, often seeking permanent residence, but may not have acquired citizenship yet. While citizens have full legal standing in their country, immigrants may face various legal restrictions and processes before gaining the same rights.


Where do you pay for citizenship?

I was not aware that citizenship was sold. If you are in the process, or seeking to be in the process, of becoming a United State's citizen, you should contact a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office (Formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service). They will have the guidelines, procedures and fees - if any. You may also do well to consult with a local attorney, one that specializes in immigrant rights. You may also find assistance with a benevolent organization that assists your specific nationality or ethnicity. If a particular person or agency has told you that you must pay to get your citizenship, please do not send them any money until you have verified things with a private attorney or an agent of the United States government.
