My BIL is a Canadian with a dual British citizenship since he was born in Scotland. My sister is an American but they have been living in Canada for almost thirty years... with vacations here to visit family. My sister never got Canadian citizenship.
Since my BIL's retirement (he was a public school administrator and teacher) they have been spending six months in the Orlando area. My sister is just tired of the long winters. One of their kids now lives in the Orlando area with her husband and two children. She, of course, is an American citizen even though she was born in Canada.
Anyway my BIL was thinking of taking a part time job at Disney just to have something to do and to put a little extra money in their purse. He does have a social security card that he got when he was here living with his parents when he was a teenager.
Would he need a green card? How hard would that be for him to get? Who would know he is not a citizen since he does have a social security card? My BIL thinks if he did get a job it would throw up a red flag since he hasn't earned any money or paid any social security taxes since he was a teenager.
Reading this forum has been very educational. I never knew that it was so hard for the British to get citizenship. Amazing. That part about raising kids here and then having them sent back when they reached 21 was simply heart stoppping.
I'm also kind of curious about why some think this country offers their kids more than Britian. It is not like Britian is a third world country and I've always just assumed that educations were better in Europe than here. At least that is what we are told everytime we have to approve a new school tax.[msnwink]
Apologizing in advance for my ignorance. [msneek]
