Jul 2024

With spouses not being able to get citizenship so easily. A friend of a friend was married to a Canadian, they moved to Vancouver Island, she was studying to get her citizenship (I think she had to live there for some years to even qualify to apply), then her husband died. She had to leave!!!! She was a retired judge; probably had the means so moved to Ireland where she qualified for citizenship.

Today’s events have me feeling a bit more urgent about moving.
