- I've heard this same lie from the right wing in Canada "Trudeau is bringing in immigrants to vote for him" It takes years for an immigrant to become a citizen who is allowed to vote I really wish Canadians understood their immigration & citizenship process better 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli
- I moved to Canada at the age of 18. It took me 15 years after that point to become a citizen, not for lack of enthusiasm on my part. That's really how long it took to work through student visas, work visas, & permanent residency, each one a prerequisite to the next, with citizenship the last step.Feb 5, 2026 05:00
