Louise S – It is in Canada, under Canadian law. U.S. legislation does not apply.

Haypenny – Not sure where you lived. You seem very biased to support the U.S. without knowing much about Canada or its laws. For any foreign national (U.S., U.K, Australian, Japanese, etc.) to study in Canada, you need a study permit. It is the same requirement for me as a Canadian if I wanted to enrol is any class or school in the U.S. I would have to apply for a student visa. This has been around since my parents were kids – so it’s your own fault for not knowing the law. Had your stepfather “sponsored” you, you could have applied for immigrant status and gone that route for school.

A landed immigrant has legal status in Canada, which allows them to work, study, collect benefits, etc. It’s not an easy thing to get landed, and takes a considerable amount of time. Kudos to those who do go through the landing process vs. refugee claimants.

I like the pic of the totalitarian border agent instead of the actual video. It would be funny to see one of those AMW style re-enactments lip synched to this audio (including keystone cops style cut aways of the other agents searching/running around the outside of MARV in sped up video ala Benny Hill).
