Well, I'm assuming the US government thinks you might have ties to somebody back home, presumably someone on their radar.
In this thread you saw one mishandled application. Not blaming amp. It happens. My understanding is Pedro should be able to bank like a Canadian citizen once he is a citizen. The end.
That is the thing, when you are dealing with nationalities and statuses is when you realized on the differences. There should not be a difference between living in Canada or having their citizenship, because I still have to live by Canadian laws and rules, that are as good as the USA laws and rules, When the broker says they open accounts for people living in Canada, they are acknowledging that they might have applicants with different nationalities, otherwise, it may be stated that the rejection is related to the origin of the applicant, which raises another kind of issue, this is not that case, as it seems, thank God is not, it is going to be clarified very soon.... I trust in the broker's process and decision making for applications complying with the law. That is why all of us want to do business with the USA, the G-7, G-10 etc. Rule of law my friend.
Citizenship confers both duties as well as rights. By living in a country you cannot automatically acquire the full complement of both. If you reject some duties you must accept the loss of some rights - Why should a non-citizen have the right to pick someone else's government? And how would you feel if the Canadian government said it was your duty to fight in the Canadian army?
I think you have gone astray from the main issue. But, I absolutely agree with you on all the points you have raised here.
I merely responded to your statement - "There should not be a difference between living in Canada or having their citizenship, because I still have to live by Canadian laws and rules, that are as good as the USA laws and rules," You might not agree with my opinions but you cannot say that I went astray in the discussion, I simply followed where you led.
My friend, fo My friend, I, fortunately, agree with you on ALL those point you made. That statement you are pointing out was an introduction to develop the argument about my country of residence as the one that should apply as my only residence and where I must follow the rule of law (one of the bests in the world), which is relevant for the application, instead of my citizenship. You can notice the relevance of the argument if agreeing or disagreeing with them, we can solve or get closer to solve the issue at hand, application declined. Any of both positions would not, right ?.
Yes, only legal resident in Canada, with a different nationality. Yes, they know where I come from because on the documentation I presented to them shows my nationality. And also my actual residence in other documentation. Anyways, @AMP_Global is telling me that citizenship is not the issue and the reason they gave me is in full adherence to law and rules, so we can discard the citizenship issue, thank God. Now I got to try to solve it if it is possible, let's see.
pedro0309, Wouldn't you know if your country or state was blacklisted even if you did not look at the list? ES
