I haven't post here in a while.

Im a former dreamer living legally in Canada now . I'm on my second year of my undergrad studies. Although Canada isn't the same as living in U.S. , I don't have to worry about being undocumented now and I love seen my social insurance card (Canadian social security card) in my wallet. If you haven't fixed your situation I encourage people to apply for a canadian study permit. If you apply make sure you tell them THE WHOLE TRUTH in regards to why are you undocumented in the U.S. NO LIES. Write them a letter with your application explaining the whole situation and that you feel more American than your original nationality, which isn't a lie because most of us have lived in the U.S. since we were little kids. Get reference letters from college professors, high school, and if you know a city/state government person that knows your situation asked them for a reference letter.Also, make sure you have money saved to cover your studies. Once you get into Canada it is pretty easy to find a job, and after 6 months you can apply for a work permit to work off campus. The doors are wide open in Canada ,for now, because they need professional workers and the economy is doing really well overhere. Again don't lie, don't do anything illegal, in other words dont fuck with t CIC (canadian immigration agency) if you decide to apply for a Canadian study permit.

If you wanna keep waiting for an immigration overhaul in the U.S. well keep waiting. I waited 10 years until I had enough.

If you have any questions feel free to message me, I won't probably answer right away because im busy with finals at the moment.

In the mean time most information regarding Canadian study permits can be found on their website

Aren't you from some Eastern European country? I think I remember you from my time as a lurker. It's good to see that people who have left the country are doing just fine.

Glad to hear good news from you man. There are many cases where dreamer are able to move to other English speaking country. I have hear cases from Australia, Canada, and even England. If CIR doesn't pass, people should definitely explore this option.

Technically with DACA, we do qualify for and now have social security numbers; we are also protected from deportation for 2 years as long as we maintain good character and stay out of trouble. A lot of us can now work legally, have driver's licenses/state ID's, can travel around the country freely and support the US economy by spending money, and are moving forward with our lives in a positive direction-- career-wise and education-wise.

If it was this time last year, I'd have been seriously contemplating my immigration options, but with the opportunities and doors that DACA has opened up as well as the results of the 2012 elections, it is clear that the climate is right for immigration reform. For me, leaving now would be a total waste of such a unique opportunity that us Dreamers have been given, this is my home.

I'm glad that you are doing great, it's always good to see people doing well, all the best!

if I wasn't married with a child and still single I could have done Canada. But now I have my hubby here in the USA and son so I'm determined to stay here as my country of residence. Unless we make a decision to move to Canada.... we already moved cross country a state away from Canada. Are student visas the only way to get to Canada?

My heart is set on going to Canada for grad school - specifically at McGill in Montreal, but any school in Quebec will do.

Do I really have to tell them about my status? What if I return my country before applying for a student visa?

I applied to study in Canada in ~2004, but was denied a visa because I could not prove that I would be able to return to my country of application origin (USA). Something to think about it!
