The Best Second Passports for Canadians

Check out our article about Why Citizens of All Western Countries Need a Second Passport:
nomadcapitalist.com/global-ci...
Here at Nomad Capitalist, we’ve been talking about the benefits of having second citizenship for years.
And a lot of seven- and eight-figure entrepreneurs have taken me up on that offer - either as a Plan A for further tax reductions or a Plan B for what we call citizenship insurance.
With the political and social changes that are occurring throughout the world, it would be wise for any high-income citizen of a Western country to get a second passport.
“Why?” you ask? Because a second passport can serve as a form of protection from the chaos of our times.
While it’s rare, I’ve had the occasional Canadian, citizens tell us that they think things in their country might get worse. Still, many of them don’t think they need a second passport as much as they think US citizens do.
In this video, Andrew shares the best second passports for Canadians.

[@Blakpepa]

@@TheRealAayCole first of all, I'm a woman!😂😂 It's actually quite easy to get residence then citizenship in places like Mexico and other south American countries. Too many Caribbean countries bow to the USD and right now we are seeing countries looking to divest from it as a central currency. Think about it this way, which passport is more powerful? Which economy is more stable? Which one has to rely on the US? In Jamaica they import too many things and bypass local manufacturing because of stupid deals from previous government from decades ago and food prices are outrageous. I look around in my house and absolutely everything in my fridge, cupboard, down to the glass is manufactured in Mexico. Even the soap i use, all the condiments. In Canada even in the summer all the fruits and vegetables in Loblaws is imported from Mexico and South America bypassing locally produced! Even if they have locally grown it's always insanely expensive. Mexico is diverse, at no point what so ever have I experienced racism, in major cities I bump into people from all over the world who are professionals. Mexico was never on my list until Andrew kept talking about it and then I started interacting with people and then I came for myself and don't want to leave.
