In the UK we are moving in the opposite direction. Non-EU immigrants find it increasingly hard to bring their families over with them. Students who study here are not allowed to stay and work after they have completed their courses. After three or four years of studying in English, making British friends and learning our customs and culture, they are prevented from making a life here in the world of work. Our citizenship system treats those applying to naturalise with suspicion, and our fees (over £1000, compared to £313 in Canada) are among the highest in the developed world. Only the mega rich find the path to British citizenship easy, using their millions to achieve investor status and the rewards that go with it.
