I stated the above - You can apply for Citizenship 3 years AFTER you become a Landed Immigrant.. To apply for Landed Immigrant status it takes 4 years. Oh and you said "it can take 9 months to process" but we will ignore that time..
That's still 7 years any way you twist it... it takes damn near the same amount of time in America.
Green card for green card, Canada may be faster - who gives a shit? Canada has like 250 million less people, shit probably should get done quicker.
Are we now talking about family case instead of you or me going into Canada? Cause that's not what we referenced throughout these posts... so it's kinda odd to twist it now.

God damn, you're an idiot.
This is what you said
"Landed Immigrants can't get on the system because they aren't citizens and don't have work visa's."
landed immigrants don't need a visa. They have a immigration status that allows them to work and live in Canada. Comprende? They DO NOT NEED visa.
They can't vote but do have every other social benefit that canadian citizens do. if you immigrated as skilled worker and not refugee or as family based immigrant you do not qualify for IMMIDIATE welfare and unemployment benefits. You have to be employed for 22 month in Canada to gain full benefits for unemployment. God damn, you either playing with me or dumber than my fucking cat.

No it doesn't. when I did it in 2001 it took me 9 month. Right now if you do it in Buffalo its about 12 month. if you do it in Poland for instance, it takes 2 years because its a lot harder to do background check. Do some googling for Christ sake.
fuck it. i will even do it for you:

" Skilled worker can take as little as 12 months if you have the right job (a job in demand). Or it can take 2 to 6 years if you dont have a job in demand. That time also depends on which country you come from."
Here's a list of jobs in demand as of right now:

No, it's not 7 and not 4 years.

However - as stated before, I don't care that it takes longer here, at that.. if you can so easily migrate into Canada, why anyone would Sponsor someone is stupid - just move

Maybe there is immigrant category for stupid. They get a special line that takes 4 years to process. You should know better. you were there. Or maybe they just discriminate brain dead ex-marines. I didn't see them in that list of jobs in demand.
Everyone else gets it in 12 month.
