This is the requirement for US nationals wanting to retire in Spain. I can only imagine the requirements for Canadians are the same.What are immigration rules for Canadians?

Why for US citizens? It says nothing about being US specific. Or does it?
I would not assume that motivation for posting it. Rather, someone asked about the requirements for Canadians; another posted the requirements for US citizens, thinking it might be similar; and finally that information was offered up.when it it is posted, as a way to put a damper on the OP, I am curious about the need to post, and its relevance.
It is very interesting & tempting. Personally Spain would be a very lovely place to retire.I would not assume that motivation for posting it.

This document was written for US citizens and was published by the CONSULADO GENERAL DE ESPAÑA EN SAN FRANCISCO
It can be seen as a kind of bargain and an opportunity -the dream of a quiet life in a beautiful landscape.
And, too, as the sad end of a history. I suppose those villages had traditions, families, hopes. They are gone; apparently, no memories of them. They are disappearing, as if they had never existed.
Btw, they are announced as "villages" (not farms, or houses). I suppose villages have public property spaces -squares, cemeteries, roads. Can they really be sold and bought? Just curious.
I am completely confused and dismayed by these statements. I did not see any nefarious intent in those posts. Some of us Canadian don't watch TV weekly, CBC or otherwise, so I have no idea what that program is about, either. Let's drop the unnecessary and divisive nationalistic interpretations.My mistake, I did not realise the OP was only meany foe US citizens. I thought it was there as a cute post of general info that did not need to be shot down by information to let US citizens there may be some hurdles before moving to another country and/ or buying property.
Canadians already know all about buying a. Illage as we watch Schitt's Creek weekly on the CBC.
Here is the US one can buy entire towns...usually this is rare and they are small. A few years (decades??) ago the actress Kim Bassinger (9 1/2 weeks) bought one in Georgia. Just recently the near-by town of Harmony, CA (population 18) was sold. If our drought continues, California may go from a state that would be the sixth leading in the world (edit: based on GDP) if it were a country (sorry France, just edging you outIt can be seen as a kind of bargain and an opportunity -the dream of a quiet life in a beautiful landscape.

Just keep us posted on the Opening Day! I will try to be there, with my usual tired looks and muddy boots!Now, back to my daydream of buying one of these towns and building the 'perfect' albergue
it will be wonderful...separate rooms for early risers, late risers, windows open, and windows closed. no special room for those who snore, because believe me (I spent a lot of time awake at night due to nightmares), ALL pilgrims snore (me too). Turn down service, with mints on the pillows....Just keep us posted on the Opening Day! I will try to be there, with my usual tired looks and muddy boots!

Schitts Creek is a CBC comedy about a family who has bought a village. No nationalistic interpretation. A simple google can k form about about it. As for why posts about requirements for Americans appeared, I still have no idea as I do not see a single post asking for this information. I think the OP was for information, an opportunity, something positive, amd it was rained on with links about hurdles. A pitty. But at least some reponded to positive stories of how some villages have been revived, despite hurdles I'm sure.
Don't overestimate my proficiency with the subtleties of English language...According to an English dictionary on Internet, a hamlet is "a village with no church of its own, belonging to a parish in another village or town"
Don't worry, When I was in Africa the Australians had to translate between me and the British on safari...I'd have sworn we weren't all speaking English, and they felt I couldn't be from California since I'm not blonde.
Don't overestimate my proficiency with the subtleties of English language...
Sometimes, in my talks with American or British pilgrims, I have discovered that, obviously, synonyms have similar, but not always the same meaning. This happens usually when they look confused or startled after I try to express an idea...
Or some of the Scottish people along the villages of The West Highland Way.....sometimes it was a very big challenge to understand them.Try understanding a GeordieSomebody from Newcastle (UK) now there is a challenge! SY
Don't worry, @Pelegrin .
In the countries with hispanic legal heritage there is the "servidumbre de derecho de paso". I don't know how to translate this concept (right of way?) but it implies that an owner must recognize some consuetudinary usage (servidumbre), in this case that pedestrians can cross the property by a designated path. I read somewhere that British have some well respected tradition in this sense, too.
yes, it is for US,Why for US citizens? It says nothing about being US specific. Or does it?
It depends in part where you are from in part. It also depends on why you are wanting to come to Canada. At my last count, there are 28 categories by which you can enter Canada temporarily or permanently. Although laden with legalese gobbledygook the trustworthy government website:What are immigration rules for Canadians?
The question asked was about "immigration rules for Canadians" who want to move to Spain.It depends in part where you are from in part. It also depends on why you are wanting to come to Canada.
