Okay, so what’s our other options?

(There in lies )the real problem heh heh I couldn’t resist the play on words.

Bermuda is all I know, mind you it hasn’t affected me I do what I want, but I’d like to own my corner one day. My parents are getting old, they never bought a house where they’re from, they don’t own a house here. Work and paying bills and rent is all they know.

The residency requirement is 5 years. In Bermuda the residency requirement is currently infinity years.

Stay put for 1,095 days. Once you’re a permanent resident, you need to be able to prove that you’ve been in Canada for 1,095 days out of the past 4 years (there’s 1460 days in 4 years, so that’s 3 years). It does not have to be 1,095 consecutive days. So long as you’re there for 3 out of the past 4 years, you’re good to go. And yes, they will look at your passport, deciphering it until the moose come home.
As stated previously, you’ll receive 1/2 a day’s credit for every day spent in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident. All the more reason to get on establishing your residency!
This 3 year rule does not apply to those under the age of 18.[2]

We have two choices, we either accept that if we want to keep or increase our standard of living we have to encourage foreigners to invest in our island or we accept that we are going to lose our standard of living and return to being fisherman and onion growers with a bit of tourism on the side. That is THE TRUTH!

Come on folks–this is 2016–

This is a Human Rights issue, its fair and the right thing to do.

There is nothng dshonest as the PLP will have you believe and its not a new situation.

The PLP are so on the wrong side of this issue—It is very sad for them and those that believe the spin.

Where is your compassion for your fellow Bermudians–tsk tsk..

Bermuda is almost alone in the world in offering no path to a resident getting status or even the right to reside absent marrying a citizen.

Quo Fata Ferunt

A simple check of their immigration file reveals the origin and ‘look’ of these new Bermudians. Also as work permit and PRC applications require a picture, we all know the race of these new Bermudians.

I wonder if the OBA would still ‘do what’s right’ if the vast majority of these new Bermudians were not white….but were black, i.e they fit the PLP voting demographic.

Would they still push to grant these likely new PLP voters status?

Okay, so what’s our other options?

Secondly, if the declining population is a real concern, why isn’t the Government reaching out to the scores of Bermudians who have moved abroad to the UK, US and Canada? Why aren’t they arranging forums to convince them why they should come back?
