Hey reddit!

So, I know the common thing is to “just google it”, but I’ve read through everything and I’m still confused. Guess I’m just dumb that way, but I usually find having a 1:1 with people helps me understand.

So today I discovered the wonderful (I say that sarcastically) world of insurance deductibles. This has basically cemented it into my mind that I must pursue Canadian citizenship to acquire better healthcare.

The thing is, the visa requirements are confusing. I’m not a business owner, I’m not a skilled worker (unless working in a food factory is skilled work?), and I don’t go to school. Im just a normal dude, but I think I could still apply for a visitors visa? One of the requirements listed on the Canadian immigration website is that you must live in a hotel or with family. I don’t think I have near enough money to live in a hotel for 6 months, and I don’t have any Canadian family. My plan was to rent for 6 months (if that’s a thing in Canada), get another visa, rinse and repeat until I’ve been in Canada long enough to apply for citizenship. That’s an extremely oversimplified version of my plans and I’m not even sure if it reflects the reality of migrating.

How can I, a U.S. citizen with no skilled work or schooling, rent an apartment in Canada and eventually apply for citizenship?
