The eXpat Files is a new series of podcast episodes that chronicle David and @joyofnapping's conversations as they consider whether/how to move to another country.

In this episode, David and Joy discuss a consultation they had with a Canadian immigration lawyer on possible paths to permanent residency in Canada. Spoiler alert: There aren't many!

Sorry to hear how difficult it is to move to Canada. If worse comes to worse, there is always Svaalbard, Norway. It's between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole. You can simply pack your bags and live there. No citizenship required. No papers. Oh and you'll see Miss Huang there too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longyearbyen All kidding aside, that stinks. I think Vancouver would have been PERFECT for you guys. Close to your parents which should be the biggest priority IMO. There is a HUGE Chinese population (28%). And Dave can mingle with the those in the entertainment industry. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next entry!

That was an excellent podcast episode about the Canadian immigration lawyer! I was so confident that it must be trivial to move to Canada!!!

Great news regarding election in Canada today. I realize it doesn't change your position that much, but still, a liberal win!

BTW, we would love to have you here in Sweden, but I fear you will have similar challenges as in Canada...

I lived in Montreal for 4 years as an American (Temporary Work visa). I loved Canada and wanted to get a permanent residency there. Everything you described I learned quickly as well - there is no real viable way for me as a 40ish single non-healthcare worker to do that. So I finally left and returned to the US. Canada is on a points system as you described. They value younger applicants without health issues (less drain on their healthcare system), and highly value French proficiency. The US seems to be more of a real lottery system without giving points to how young you are, etc. Also, its more expensive to buy property in Canada as a non-citizen with a foreign buyer tax. Whereas we let Canadians buy homes in places like Florida and stuff. Its a shame. But it is what it is. For some reason, Americans think that it is easy for us to immigrate to Canada. I found through living there that it is extremely hard. I don't know how hard it is for Canadians to immigrate to the US (probably extremely hard as well).
