    I was asking for my bro, he has mental problems (which he keeps under strict control with his meds) he’s on disability and has a hard time with flying or being in small spaces… It may be a fly by night thing but thought if he could do a work from home or do charity work online for Canada, that they may let him in one day. And does he need to go to Canada to become a Canadian or can he get dual citizenship like online or something after passing a bunch of tests.

      You can apply for permanent residency after a certain number of years living in Canada legally, but citizenship is more difficult to obtain. You get extra points if you studied there, and it’s definitely easier if you marry a local.

      The disability bit is hard. There are medical exclusions for going into Canada. I’m on that road right now and I have a heart issue which, for me, equals disabled. My best advice is talk to an immigration specialist - but be sure to check that they are legit and have the right certifications.

      Otherwise,like other people are saying, it’s a lot about skills. If your brother is amenable to going to a school in Canada, that’s also an easier way. It’s not a guarantee, but a student visa will last a bit and then having that already Canadian training, it’s easier to be hired by those companies.

      Good luck
