Ahh. This is news to me. I hadn't considered the plight of a french speaking baker applying for work in Germany. So as a German resident, you can pick up and move to Spain, for a year? BTW, I have it from Canada that if I wish to stay longer than 6 months, I need a Permanent Resident permit. Visits to Canada are at will of the immigration officer, regardless of land ownership. So if I show up at the border with the back end of my truck loaded with assorted household goods and the intention of renting for 6 months, I must convince them my visit will indeed be temporary, despite what might appear as a vagrant pulling up stakes. So I would conclude owning land in Canada is a bit of a timeshare proposition, dependent on the goodwill of our northern neighbors and their immigrant representatives, unless one has a Permanent Resident permit. Also, in the process of applying for a Resident permit, one must provide proof of non criminal status for any country you've lived in more than 6 months, which means each subsequent country lived in makes the process a bit more complicated. And if I live in Thailand 6 months before applying for Canada Resident permit, I must undergo the medical exam. I wonder if Mexico and Costa Rica are much the same?
