Keep points -Feeling like a Canadian -Mentions the twitter post above; Jeb says there is ongoing communication with the CSA and they are actively working on immigration issues. -Very excited about CMNT, re: Benito, future etc -Great interview all together. after listen to the sh*t Lee Godfrey airing out of the TFC camp this is a refreshing change.

Remembering that El Hombre was one of the people who wasn't a big fan when we mentioned Jeb Brovsky as being a Canadian international, I believe so.

hamiltonfan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) My mistake...i intended on posting "wouldn't be so quick.." he could have citizenship a the moment and still be considered a resident working abroad.It doesn't make all the much sense but if he is wanting to play international football for Canada he'll have to Edited June 13, 2014 by hamiltonfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like a guy like Lefèvre or Roberts who don't have their citizenship, but would become eligible the minute they would get their citizenship.

hamiltonfan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Agreed ^. The question is, what qualifies are "living" or "being in the same country"? Perhaps having your permanent residents in Canada and spending XX amount of days in the country. Many permanent residents work in the United States. I'm not convinced there is an answer to this question. Remember this is FIFA Law...whatever the f*ck that really means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced there is an answer to this question. Remember this is FIFA Law...whatever the f*ck that really means. Yeah because that is kind of hard to interpret, that's why I basically just go by which club they're at. For all we know Brovsky could be keeping his permanent address in Montreal and spending all his off time there and inching closer to meeting the quota, however so could a lot of players that aren't currently on our radar. I find it fun doing this thread just to see what the possibilities could be like but Canada has had MLS clubs since 2007 and no one has made it past the 1 year until qualifying for citizenship (Frei), so in all reality none of these guys will ever suit up for Canada. There is too much player movement in MLS, and you have to basically hit that sweet spot of being good enough to be wanted by the Canada's National setup, but not good enough to be wanted by their own National set up or a club that would want to sign them.

jpg75 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wasn't the problem with Ihemelu that he had gone to school in the States so that time did not count towards Canadian residency? I think people are grasping if they think Brovsky can retain residence by playing in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tovan1 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Brovsky has been in Canada since 2011... If he's been living in Canada during the off-seasons and has permanent resident status he might just qualify for citizenship. According to Wikipedia.... A person who is a permanent resident may apply for Canadian citizenship by naturalization (grant) subject to the following conditions. The person: is aged 18 years or over is a permanent resident has lived in Canada for a total of 1095 days during the four years preceding the application for citizenship, including a minimum of two years as a permanent resident has knowledge of Canada (as demonstrated by taking the Canadian Citizenship Test, which is required as part of the application process, but only if the applicant is between 18 and 54 years of age) is not a subject to any criminal prohibitions is not a war criminal is able to speak English or French well enough to communicate with people[15] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think people are grasping if they think Brovsky can retain residence by playing in the States. I am not under the impression that he retain residence by playing in the States. Rather he can retain "FIFA residence" status despite playing in the States. How.. that is the million dollar question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I agree that the excessive amount of player movements is dashing alot of the hopes i had that (with MLS) we would be able inject some talent or depth to the MNT through naturalization. If we could at least nationalize a keeper, that would help a great deal. But there has been alot of player movement even at that position. Right now, i am not sure that our NT keeps are good enough to earn starting roles in MLS and MLS some pretty decent ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voetbal.dave Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 How about Collen Warner? picked up by the impact in the 2011 expansion draft and has been playing in canada ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.notenboom Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Someone should contact their media dept already. I suppose the message might not get through though. Next TSN will be discussing whether or not JDG2 can get his Canadian passport back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
