From Wikipedia:

On December 23, 2008, Jason Kenney, Canada's minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus. "The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete," Kenney said in an official statement.[45]

Hmm, I wonder if they RQed him? :eek:

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I wonder when they started processing his file. The whole world is progressing towards realistic progressive goals and Canadians are working towards childish goals

No, their jobs needs to be advertised in order to get them LMO's and work permits and as they probably fall under unskilled factory workers, they would have a problem gaining the right to apply for PR. However, if they end up marrying Canadians, they could be sponsored under family class :)

LOL I can see it now. A whole new thread about how the 'elves' were introduced to Canada via MOC's and have since left their spouses' to further sponsor their 'true' loves from back up North ;)
