Bison44 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 5 hours ago, Obinna said: It's a 5 year process I believe. You become a permanent resident after 2 years and then citizenship after another 3, provided you keep you PR status active for the entire 5 year stretch, or something like that anyways. Someone can correct me on the finer details. He's been with the Impact since 2018, so presumably he won't be able to help us during this cycle. Anyone else have information on this? 100% correct, unless there are different FIFA rules, those are the CDn rules. There is a set number of days you can be out of canada during the 5 years and still be ok. Its a lot though, but if he leaves during the offseason he might not make it. Would he be worth it? Is he better than, lets say Cornelius?? I guess with the lack of options at CB, you cant turn down anyone but I have never been a fan of his. Everytime I watch the Impact I end up cursing him.

I am still rooting for him. I know not everyone agrees, but I thought he had a strong Olympic tournament. Not spectacular - and definitely not the sort of impact that Tajon had - but I think he and Godinho were our two next best players. He is still only 22, so while he definitely needs to get a stable club situation where he can rebuild his confidence and reputation, I think it is very possible. Not saying he will or that he will ultimately have a big impact on the CMNT, but I am not writing him off yet.

VinceA Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Thinking about this Suriname match being their first real test since November 2019. How I hope Canada tries to get good friendlies in the future to continue to challenge this squad. Really though I just hope for friendlies.

The friendlies request may be not possible if the boys do the job which is getting to the Ocho. The only possibility for friendlies past then is June 2022. So no, I don’t want any friendlies soon.

umpiredice Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 So, this may be a little early and possibly a tad optimistic ... but I see that the draw for the Octagon has already been made and every team knows when and where they will be playing each match. In particular, if Canada qualifies, we are ball number 1 - and ball number 1 plays away at Mexico followed a few days later by away at Jamaica, over the October long weekend this fall. Assuming the current travel restrictions have ended by then, what are the chances of a Voyageurs road trip? I remember reading all about the last road trip to Mexico and wishing I could have gone on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point but then since the Gold Cup is in less than a month, it would have been nice to at least play a friendly or 2 to at least help us prepare. Yes granted we are playing qualifiers but still I'm just saying if we could have managed to fit friendlies into our schedule, it would have been better but it is okay. We have qualifiers to get through anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still possible the CSA schedules an "A" friendly but at the very least they'll play a closed door match against a club team.

dyslexic nam Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Bottom line is that there is now way the CSA is scheduling a bunch of friendlies given the schedule we have 2-4 WCQ matches, Gold Cup, potential Ocho games. With limited budget and player club commitments, we will be logistically challenged as is. Shway and Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he said they’re wouldn’t be much crossover, even though our first game would be almost a month after our potential playoff matchup. Predicting this team will be a challenge. Maybe Arfield could come and bring his family? Will Hutch be there? Will TFC get depleted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest I heard was that the Gold Cup squad would not be a "B" squad and that it would be stronger than people are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
