EB-5 Investor US Visas

Here is an idea if you got money and want to go to the US. Invest there and apply for the EB-5 visa.  Its the quickest and easiest way to get a green card and live and work in the US.  But the capital you will need for the business is half a million. That's about what a house in Toronto costs.

There is a lineup for those visas:

The rage of watching US TV from Canada through the internet

About 1/3 of people are using VPN to access content outside their country by masking their IP so that they are accessing from that country.

The most common and popular VPN services that don’t keep records currently are Private Internet Access, TorGuard, IPVanish, BTGuard and VikingVPN.

Netflix does not have a stand on it because they are making money from outside their own country anyway. Why block a new stream of revenue from Canada?

Now recently Bell wants to crack down on it. I like it how cbc calls it 'stealing'. Not really.

Bell and Rogers both own the most expensive and failing franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Trying to gouge customers with their high bills to consumers is all for financing this horrible team.

Evidently, for those stuck in the US who misses Canadian content , there is no complaints for us if we were to use the VPN to watch Canadian content..woo hoo!
