Hi,
Please could you advise me on the following.
I am a British passport holder who is looking to move to Canada for at least 6 months to work and possibly to enter the states on a working visa. (my understanding of this is that it is easier to do this as a Canadian citizen than a British one.)
My father was born in Canada and holds an expired Canadian passport from 1997. He also has a current British passport which he uses. Am I eligible to gain a Canadian passport and would this be the easiest route into Canada and the US.
I´m not sure if my current status is important but I am 25, working and a recent marketing degree graduate.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me,
Sean

(in reply to: Canadian Eligibility) Go to your local consulate, apply for citizen born abroad.
Under NAFTA you are not required to have a visa when applying for your work permit at the USA border (or airport).
However you must still have a job lined up, and all your documentation in order.
If (sounds like you are) you are a Canadian, the next step is to start looking at the USINS website as their rules are complicated.
