  I am not sure what this person actually meant to say, I may be
missinterpreting it, but it needs clarifying either way. A Green Card is
similar to Landed Immigrant in Canada, a Work Permit is similar to a
Work Permit (L1, or I believe, Resident Alien status). I've been through
the process both ways (U.K. citizen -> Canadian landed immigrant -> Can.
citizen -> U.S. Green Card, I won't go any further, I don't want to lose
my Britt/Can dual citizenship for the dubious pleasure of U.S. citizenship)
and would definitely say it is easier to get into Canada then the States.

  Incidently, someone asked if Canada allows dual citizenship with
anybody, and as far as I can tell, yes. I have heard of Czech/Canadian
citizens, Dutch Canadians etc. aswell as the usual ones from other
Commonwealth countries. And, I believe, if you are born in Canada,
Canada allways regards you as Canadian, whether you renounced it or not.
E.g. go to the U.S., get drafted, draft dodge to Canada, and Canada will
allow you to work, won't expell you, will let you pay taxes :-) etc. The
U.S. certainly won't recognize your Canadian citizenship, but Canada will.
