I've always figured myself and my kids to be lucky. As I was born in
England and lived there till 22 I can always take my kids and hubby
there to live if I choose. I'm also now an American citizen (the
British don't recognize the right to give up your citizenship of Great
Britain when you were born there) so America is a place I can live. My
brother emmigrated from England to Canada and is a Canadian and British
citizen too so we could emmigrate to Canada without too many problems.
I think Austrailia and New Zealand are open to us as well (because of
being British)..



I recently saw "Bowling for Columbine" which was incredibly good and
Canada looks great. I've heard than Vancouver Island is beautiful so
maybe it's time to add another citizenship to my list <g>

Make sure you keep your UK passport up-to-date as it's getting trickier now
even if you are British when you take on citizenship to other countries.
The UK is getting very strict as there is so much immigration there that
everyone is calling out for tough laws. The major thing now is if your
mother is/was British -- not just if you were born there.
If you have a UK passport you can live anywhere in the EU and have the same
rights to work as anyone from that member country.
You can emmigrate to AU and NZ but apparantly now we UK citizens are the
same as anyone else (no handouts for the motherland:) I know that AU has an
age limit of 45 and you have to be a professional (they usually want a
graduate degree) or have a large bank account. From what I've heard the
same goes for Canada and NZ.

Emmigration is a biggy here as we have so many subcontinental people and
they are always trying to get into those western countries (so I see lots
of articles in the newspaper). What amazes me is how discriminating the US
is and won't even let subcontinental people get visit visas to take a
vacation in the US. They can only go if they are over the age of about 50
and fully employed in another country. It's really hard because people have
to pay quite a large amount of money just to apply to try and get a visit
visa only to be turned down (and they don't refund the money). I know
people who've been trying for years to visit the US.

Thanks for that reminder Kate. My parents were both born in
England, as were my grandparents, great-grandparents etc, but I let
my British passport lapse last year so it's time to pull it out and
renew it before they change the laws to not be in my favor. Thanks
again for those reminders.

I've always felt that Canada was the place for us. As I get older, the
feeling grows.

I'm pretty sure that Canadians and Brits can still move around the
Commonwealth countries.

Oh well that's good you have the family background -- should make it no
problem.
Did the government people in the US tell you that you must give up your
passport from the UK when you took out citizenship? They did me and I just
smiled nicely. The UK allows for dual but not the US.

The US used to. That's how I lost my US citizenship. They changed it
around 10 years ago. My sister has joint citizenship.
