NANCY MISKIN CAME TO CANADA IN 1977 AS A STUDENT IN A MASTERS PROGRAMME ON AN INTERNSHIP WITH ADDICTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION.  SHE THEN RETURNED TO CANADA TO WORK FOR ARF IN 1979 ON A WORK PERMIT.  AFTER A BATTLE WITH THE IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT NANCY WAS GRANTED PERMANENT RESIDENCY BY ORDER OF THE FEDERAL CABINET IN 1980.  AT THAT TIME US CITIZENS WOULD LOSE THEIR CITIZENSHIP IF THEY BECAME CITIZENS OF CANADA.  THAT RULE CHANGED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND NANCY HAS NOW BECOME A CANADIAN CITIZEN WHILE RETAINING HER US CITIZENSHIP WITH DUAL CITIZENSHIP STATUS. NANCY LOOKS FORWARD TO BEING MORE INVOLVED AS A CANADIAN WHILE REMAINING ACTIVE WITH DEMOCRATS ABROAD WORKING FOR CHANGE IN THE UNITED STATES.
