Can a legal immigrant become a US citizen by marriage?

No, You can only become a citizen if you apply for you citizenship through immigration. Being a legal resident and married to an American citizen can and will not change your immigrant statics unless you go through the right process.

Does a US citizen need a passport to re-enter the US from Mexico?

what documents does a us citizen need to reenter us after visiting canada?

-answer-

This depends on the border crossing.

For the most part you need to show that you are a US Citizen. Usually, just a drivers liscense and vehicle registration with a car that has US plates and you not talking with a 'canadian' accent.

If you are not the typical 'easy to identify' American, but naturalized or something, then you need a copy of your naturalization papers or some other documentation like a passport or something to show you are allowed legally in this country.

So, it may be easy to leave the US without the correct documentation, but its harder to get back in without it.

Why should Mexicans be allowed to cross the US borders?

Mexicans and people of any nationality should NOT be allowed to cross the U.S. borders illegally, and they certainly should NOT be allowed to stay in the U.S. if found. On the other hand, not all Mexicans are entering the U.S. illegally. Those who enter the U.S. legally should be welcome in the country.

Who are some famous Chinese immigrants?

I believe Raymond Lam is on the rise this year, he won most improved award for 2007. Moses Chan, Bernice Liu, and Charmaine Sheh are also popular actors and actresses that reported as the top paid celebrity in the entertainment industry. I am a big fan of tvb therefore I can go on forever...Bosco Wong is also being promoted, as well as Linda Chung. Myolie Wu has been promoted several years ago, and is still doing great in the industry. To wrap it all up, those are the main people who are popular with hk audiences. As for taiwan, the most popular actor is probably ming dao.

Do you have to be 21 to bring alcohol into the US from Canada?

A US resident can drink in Canada, if he/she is of the legal drinking age. The legal drinking age in Canada is 18 or 19, depending on where you are.

Underage drinking by 16-17 year olds under parental supervision is permitted in Manitoba.

Is it difficult for US citizens to relocate and seek employment in Canada?

American Immigrants to CanadaThis info is from the citizenship and immigration Canada website.

If you want to be a permanent resident, there's a point system where you have to score high enough. Having a college education is a lot of points; grad school is more. There are points for speaking English and French. There are also points for having job skills, and a chart tells you what skills are worth how many points.

There's also a skilled worker program where you can get into Canada to work indefinitely. You have to have $9,500 for one person (that's Canadian dollars) and $12,000 for two people - there's a chart. This is to prove you can support yourself for six months, and I think you don't have to have the money if you have a job offer. You'd also have to qualify in terms of job skills.

  • My granddaughter has lived in Whistler BC for several years now. She has worked as a waitress, etc. but was not allowed to work long because she had no work visa. She finally married a Canadian citizen and got a visa.
  • You can "visit" Canada for six months without working. I would use the time to look for employment. Once you have a job offer, you can apply for immigrant status as a "skilled worker." See the official Canadian immigration site, www.cic.gc.ca
  • I strongly suggest that you contact a Canadian Immigration office for official and ACCURATE information regarding emigrating to Canada. I am an American who lived in Canada for 11 years. Because I am married to a Canadian, my immigration situation was a bit different, but I can say without a doubt that "landed immigrant" does NOT denote someone who owns land...it is simply a formal designation of immigrant status, much like our "alien" status here in the U.S. You are not required to own land to be granted permanent residence status in Canada. However, what with NAFTA and probable subsequent rulings on immigration, I am sure that the requirements change frequently. Therefore, do not rely on possible internet misinformation, contact either the Canadian Embassy here or an Immigration office in any major Canadian city for accurate current information and requirements.
  • Bottom line, it's not hard for a US Citizen to relocate to Canada if a) They have a job there. b) They are highly qualified in a desirable field. c) They have family members or friends in Canada willing to sponsor them. or d) They have spent at least 2 years attending a secondary or post-secondary school in CA, or working there. Canada welcomes hardworking immigrants especially if they are skilled and speak one (or both) of the official languages - English and French. Permanent resident status can lead to citizenship after 3 years. There are basically four ways to become a permanent resident: The Business-class Immigrant owns or plans to own a business in Canada. They have capital of at least $800,000CAD and will invest at least $400,000 CAD in a business once they arrive. There is also a self-employed individual program, which applies primarily to professional athletes and artists with works of cultural significance. The Skilled Worker program is probably your best bet. It extends permanent residence to people who have a job in CA. It also extends PR status to some people in highly skilled occupations that are in demand, to look for work. Skilled occupations include farming, high tech, and hospitality industry positions, among others. You must have at least $10,000 CAD per person to support yourself while you relocate. See the official Canadian Immigration website below for details, and an online quiz to qualify. The Family-class Immigrant has family members willing to sponsor them in Canada. Before you spend money on an expensive immigration lawyer, check out the official Canadian Govt. immigration website at www.cic.gc.ca, and spend a few weeks -- or months-- in the Province of your choice as a visitor. Who knows, you may even find a job while you're visiting.
  • Congratulations for a most accurate and concise answer about Americans coming to Canada to live and work. I can't think of anything to add to your post, except that I wish more Americans would FOLLOW your advice, instead of simply assuming that they can "drop in and get a job " in Canada without any kind of Canadian Government paperwork or investigation of their background or education, as if they were moving from Ohio to Michigan.

What Jobs did Immigrants in the 1800s Have?

Most of the jobs in the 1800's were the same as now, just with fewer people doing some and more doing others. A few new ones added to the mix since then. In the 1800s people worked in factories and made things, they were cooks and gardeners, doctors, lawyers, priests and pastors, carpenters, plumbers, ditch diggers, clerks, sailors, soldiers, scientists, barrel makers, ship builders, telegraph and telephone operators and electricians and many others. Most people, however, were farmers or ranchers.
