So we dipping to KKKANADA YET?
I kinda don’t have anything or anyone anyway, I’m a trans woman, I have… documented interactions with law enforcement officers during protests and am in the Midwest. I don’t have a passport. But I got high INT & CHR stats. And the grit of a White Sox girlie.
I posted this in a comment but other people are telling you to get a passport, which would be wise HOWEVER:
Under 52(2) of the immigration regs, American citizens do not need to hold a valid passport in order to enter Canada to be a temporary resident (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/page-8.html#h-686250). You do, however, have to PROVE your American citizenship which a passport does. Getting a passport is still a good idea if you wanna go elsewhere (maybe Mexico later I dunno)
You could enter and study French, if you’d like, otherwise try to get into a relatively easy program on a study permit (not necessarily a 4 year degree, maybe something like HCA school or a one year program at a technical school like NAIT) and aim for a PGWP - that should be a few years here for you to figure out if you’re going to be safe or not. You do have to have a clean record to enter Canada, but unless you have some 5 Eyes shit they won’t double check - if you want you can order an FBI criminal record check or whatever, but you only have to convince an officer of the crown you won’t come here and break laws. You do also have to prove that you have the funds to be here - they only check for funds if you’re from a country where the GDP per capita is below Mexico.
