Hello, I am a Danish citizen who want to live in Canada. I know I can stay in Canada for a half year (six months) without a visa, but how can I keep living there?
Best regards,

How old are you? And to your other post if you have been convicted of a crime, you may be inadmissable. The crime is compared to Canada's Criminal Code.

Google Express Entry - Federal Skilled Workers. That is Canada's immigration program.

I am 29, will be 30 this year. I am Danish, european. I know I can go to canada and stay there for half year. But how can I then stay longer? I want to live in canada all life.
No I dont have criminal history. In the other post I was asking for my friend who has some criminal history, he is 34 and is Indian living in India.
Thanks

Again, if you want to live in Canada, you need to look at the Express Entry Program. Your education, work experience, language and funds are looked at. You need language tests and have your degrees assessed. Scores are high.

if you want a one year working holiday visa, look at the IEC program. Due to Covid, processing is long and you may not be selected.

What is your occupation? How many years of work experience do you have in this occupation? What education do you have?

You haven't provided enough information.

So research Express Entry - FSW. With a college diploma, you will not have enough points for Express Entry so based on your skilled experience, look at provincial nomination programs.

How does being European allow you to live in Canada. You can’t live in Canada. You can visit. CBSA will determine how long you can stay on entry to the country. You may enter the first time and they say you must leave in two weeks. So if you start coming back over and over, you will be denied entry at some point.

How many times can I say this. You can’t LIVE in Canada. You are always a visitor. If it is seen that you are living in Canada and coming in and out, you will be denied entry. If you want to live in Canada, then you immigrate.

What are you going to do in Canada for 6 months?

No - you can't do this. If you try to do this - sooner or later you will be stopped and you'll risk being issued with an exclusion order (i.e. ban from Canada).
