I never stated I was seeking asylum based on pervasive racism. What I did state is that I was seeking permanent residency based on my status as a black person in the USA. These are two very different situations. However, based on my interaction with those in this forum, I clearly understand that...

I never stated that I was seeking asylum. I stated I was seeking permanent residency which is very different than asylum. Anyone who claims that pervasive racism is not a serious issue in the USA because Obama was elected is simply uninformed. Your statements regarding Obama really doesn't have...

I appreciate your response regarding the information that you shared! Good luck to you and your family as you all begin the experience of living in Ontario. Thank you, Native Black American

Facts are not whining and as I stated earlier I have no plans on moving to your country. Peace be with you! .

I now firmly understand that I will never live in Canada. However, I will continue to vacation there for a break from America. The best place for me in the USA is the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Washington or Portland, Oregon). As close to BC as possible, so if I need to cross the boarder for...

When I stated in my original post that Canada is not interested in opening the doors to Native Black Americans, even though we deal with real racism everyday. It has become very apparent why this is the case. Canada has a policy of assisting groups of people all around the world that are...

When I refer to myself as a Native Black American, what I am speaking of is as following: My ancestors are the humans that where in slaved in the USA. We are not the same people you find in Africa. In fact, you will not find any group on this earth that has the customs, beliefs, sentiment...

Thank you to everyone who responded.

I would like to move to B.C.- legally. I have ran into many road blocks as it appears Canada is not interested in opening the doors to Native Black Americans even though we deal with real racism everyday. Does anyone have a method in mind on how a person such as myself can become a PR of Canada...
