my question is why didn't he apply for citizenship? Then he wouldn't have this issue.

33 years as a permanent resident? come one.

I was thinking the same thing...33 years and they couldnt come up with $200 dollars for the citizenship?

I like this little part...

$1:

"It's just ridiculous," Witmans said. "I've been here for so long and what's the problem here, right? It's a dumb piece of paper. A dumb card."

Maybe should have thought about becoming a Canadian citizen 30 years ago and getting a passport...how is it Canada's problem that someone is too lazy or too stupid to do the Citizenship test.
