What Country Would You Move To?

[sancarlos]

She asked me that, too. I got punched in the arm for replying, “maybe you could come along as my pet.”

[Steve of phpBB]

We are definitely considering it. I have dual citizenship with Canada. Currently trying to get my certification so I can get a Canadian passport. Would consider the UK as well. I’m hoping a passport from a commonwealth country could smooth that process.

What is the basis for your dual citizenship? Just, um, curious. (My dad was a Canadian citizen.)

Oh and just from playing Geoguessr for like 1000 hours, honorable mention to Slovenia which is either the Vermont of Italy or the Oregon of Croatia but either way looks real nice.

Slovenian cuisine is a mixture of Central European cuisine (especially Austrian and Hungarian), Mediterranean cuisine and Balkan cuisine. Historically, Slovenian cuisine was divided into town, farmhouse, cottage, castle, parsonage and monastic cuisines. Due to the variety of Slovenian cultural and natural landscapes, there are more than 40 distinct regional cuisines.

Each year since 2000, the Roasted Potato Festival has been organized by the Society for the Recognition of Roasted Potatoes as a Distinct Dish, attracting thousands of visitors. Roasted potatoes, which have been traditionally served in most Slovenian families only on Sundays—preceded by a meat-based soup, such as beef or chicken soup—have been depicted on a special edition of post marks by the Post of Slovenia on 23 November 2012.[271] The best known sausage is kranjska klobasa. Slovenia is also the home of the worlds oldest vine, which is 400 years old.

Slovenia has been awarded the European Region of Gastronomy title for the year 2021.

Ten cheapest places to buy a house in Canada

6 if you don't speak French.

[Square Rob]

So, just landed back in the states. We have our interview to apply for our visa tomorrow morning. With good luck and everything timing out right, we could be officially moving over by mid-December.

We’ve found the house we like, and have already started the buying process. Crazy, but we are very excited. We love the area, and are ready for the adventure. This last trip we were over for a little over three weeks and got to see and do a lot.

That sounds exciting, Bob. Good luck!

Both of my parents were Canadian citizens at the time of my birth. So, Canada recognizes me as their citizen, even though I was born in Denver, and even though my parents later naturalized to American citizenship.

Contract is officially three years, but we can extend.

This sounds so great. Are you transferring jobs within your company? Or a complete "let's do something even more dramatic and exciting" move?

Steve, he explained it all in detail in the Life Changes thread.

Thanks. I missed a lot of happenings a few months back.

Woo boy. That's a very valuable piece of plastic there.

[sancarlos]

Well, if things go to shit hereabouts, now I think I can escape to Canada, or some other British Commonwealth country.

[Steve of phpBB]

That's awesome, SC.

[sancarlos]

That's awesome, SC.

Steve, because your father was a Canadian citizen, I think you could get a Canadian passport and citizenship certificate, too. check this out.

[Steve of phpBB]

Based on the answers you gave us, you are most likely a Canadian citizen.

Ooh. Eh.

[Steve of phpBB]

That's awesome, SC.

Steve, because your father was a Canadian citizen, I think you could get a Canadian passport and citizenship certificate, too. check this out.

I gathered the documents and just filled out the application. I'm nervous about the question "Did parent 1 leave Canada for more than 1 year before 1977?" He moved to the US in 1961 and lived there the rest of his life (April 2022), though he kept his Canadian citizenship the whole time. And then of course I've never lived in Canada.

I hope those don't disqualify me.

I wouldn't think that would disqualify you. Because my parents moved to the States in 1958 - 1960 for good, (naturalized in 1965), and I got my Canadian citizenship certificate. I would note that it took 14 months of waiting before I received my certificate. (The passport was processed very quickly after that, though.)

[Steve of phpBB]

That’s good to hear. Thanks.

I had to spend a couple hours on Ancestry figuring out when my dad came to Canada and when he left. But now I have the records for almost the whole family.

More About Bagged Milk Than You'll Ever Need To Know

[DSafetyGuy]

In college, the milk dispensers had milk that was in bags (housed in a crate) with a little hose that you would cut open. The dispenser was just a lever that pinched the hose closed when not in use.

(Not checking for ... quotes.)

[MaxWebster]

my first bag milk experience was many years ago camping outside of Marathon, Ontario. Did not have the pitcher which made it difficult



twice now over the weekend i've read this entire thread slowly and sadly while nodding with an aching to gtfo.

I did canada for 4+years - was great but incalculably difficult permit-wise. I need a no(little)-red-tape, non-hot destination. My oldest spent last semester in New Zealand and hasn't stopped talking about going back after graduation. Hell, we might follow her to Hobbiton.

[Rex]

So all this time we were talking about "milkbags" with Canadians, they thought we were referring to actual bags of milk?

Have you considered donating to the federal Liberal party?

[MaxWebster]

i would consider pledging allegiance to bag milk and donating my Mickey Mantle cards to any non-Poilievre party for residency. I'll throw in an old VHS of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em hockey and put up the full 1972 Summit Series on DVD as collateral.

Now I need to find a couple of Canadians who I've known for two years to act as Guarantors for my passport application. Degen? Pruitt? Scottie?

As they say in Quebec, Mazél Tov!
