Any of you move to Canada to play on ftp or ps?

What do you need to get residence?? How long does it take to become a citizen and open a bank account? Basically what are the steps to get dual citizenship to get back on stars?

themosthigh · Dec 23, 2012

You don't need citizenship to open a bank account in Canada. I believe they will only allow you to stay for 6 months as an American tho. Easier to move to Mexico.

Rent money
(typically one month's rent & 1/2 month's rent for a damage deposit)
How long does it take to become a citizen and open a bank account?
How long does it take to walk into a bank & see a teller? "It depends" if there's other people waiting in a line-up ahead of you.

You don't need citizenship. Just need proof of an address.

imafin · Dec 24, 2012

yeah i heard that someone has to sponsor you to become a citizen. you can only work part time for a period of time before working full time. unless the position you are trying to get is shorthanded up there. im thinking 30 years ago or so and things might have changed.
easier to become a mexican citizen, yep if you can handle drivebys, kidnappings and squirrel cages to keep your internet going.

no offense to anyone cause i live in europe and we still can play online here. but man it sure sounds funny moving to a new country to play poker. i can only imagine how much it sucks not to be able to play. i hope they make it legal again. good luck fella.

lol yeah it does suck for us,id go to mexico but im afraid of being a victim of all the violence thats going on.
btw didnt south park sing a song about Canada not being a real country anyway?

ive got family in mexico maybe ill consider getting an account through them.
i wonder if i can make aliving out of opening accounts for people?
would i be braking the law or would it be just going around it, just like usa poker sites?

RiverOfDreamz · Dec 27, 2012

Don't you need a tax id number for another country in order to withdrawal? Like the equivalent of a social security number? I ask because I have a Canadian bank account, but am a US citizen (husband is Canadian but is a US resident).

Q: Can I use a VPN or IP randomizer to appear as though I am outside the US and still play on PokerStars.com from within the United States?

A: No. real money play is not allowed from within the US under any circumstances. Players who attempt to play for real money from inside the US with the aid of VPNs or other technical workarounds may lose their playing privileges and/or funds in their account.

randy Lew moved there, heard of it!
seems like no need to get a citizen ship, u just need a proof that you live in Canada, and play for a long time no in US terror in stars!

BTW: I found Rafel, that tennis player, his location is UK not spain..LOL

RiverOfDreamz · Jan 12, 2013

Good to know, thank you Orifice. XXPXXP - not sure what you're saying?

. . . and play for a long time no in US terror in stars!

If English is not your first language, maybe post in your home language and I can translate? I'm a bit of a polyglot.

shadow451 · Jan 13, 2013

I can't imagine why you would want to consider moving to another country jsut to play on a specific site. The thought of all that trouble to do so when you can just play on what is available here now is nuts.

Just my two cents, but that is a lot of work and trouble to go through

gotchips · Jan 13, 2013

thats funny i was just saying to my girlfriend the other day how we should move to canada so we can play on pokerstars i had a good bankroll going on there when they closed i made almost 37,000 the year they got shut down i believe it was 2011.

Sephiroth · Jan 13, 2013

Canada is awesome you guys, i know a bunch of you are pot heads, so why not make the move. If you come to bc ill hook you up

gotchips · Jan 13, 2013

i believe if you try to play in the us your IP address on your comp. will be blocked so you wont be able to access the site for real money

Hi, I think i just say some famous poker grinder actually born in USA, still plays in pokerstars, just because they prove that they live Not in US for a long time! Even they have not changed their citizen ship!

So if for real money, you only need to move to Canada, then, I actually travel to Canada before and lived in Toronto for about 6 weeks, to open an account in local bank, you don't need anything a passport will always do, that's in 2007! not sure about what's happening now!

therefore, like other players, you just need a paper work, like recently utility bill to show ur address, and an local bank account to play real money if you want to move to Canada for a living like grinder!

But as for me, I will never do that, cos poker is just for fun not for live.

No taxes on poker winnings? Wow.

PLAYINBIG · Jan 14, 2013

I would never leave the USA just to play online poker.If it came down to it ,I would just play more @ B&M or home games.Online makes it nice for practice when I can not play live or during the work week,when I have no time to do so & it's convenient just to log in.

Say that to the hundreds (thousands probably more like it) of players who are currently doing this. When you browse a few tables or tourney lobbys and see a bunch of players with home country listed as Costa Rica, Mexico &/or Canada, you can be assured that MANY of them are US citizens who formerly played from US.

lukyl · Jan 15, 2013

FWIW i always avoid tables or atleast players with canada on it because i percieve so many of em to be hardcore online pro's who were good enough to make such a life changing move =P

If you move to Russia or even macao/china , thats where i'll avidly seek you out to play =D

Any of you move to Canada to play on ftp or ps?
