Private American Citizens Residing Abroad
Americans Registered Abroad By Post

(List compiled July 1999 by the Bureau of Consular Affairs)

This list does NOT include U.S. Government (military and nonmilitary) employees and their dependents.

Editor's Note: This list was the last one published. "By Post" means that some countries have both an American embassy and consulate.

Americans living in the area of these posts are encouraged to register, which simply means they fill out a form to let the embassy or consulate know they are there. This helps in case of emergencies and situations like lost passports.

Many do not register, which means that in theory the number of Americans could be higher. These numbers also include Ch*ldren who became American citizens by being born in the United States, but whose parents could be citizens of other countries.

Although this list is from 1999, it still gives a good indication of where Americans are.

That's interesting. Thanks for posting.

Yeah,

But What the f*uck motivates such a preponderance of gringos to move to canuckland???
Must have their sense of direction reversed
Vancouver BC is somewhat interesting-- used to visit there on weekends when a U of Wash in Seattle

I think it is their state sponsored medical care.

And these are just the "registered" Americans abroad. I would bet you could tack on 15-20% more than these numbers who dont bother to "register". As the police state and taxes continue growing in USA, you will see these number swell in the next 10-15 years...full of baby boomers. Especially to Central America...

Kind of doubt that most Canadians are not happy with the long waits for care. Have a neighbor who lived in Seattle and he say most major surgical procedures there are performed on Canadians who did not or could not accept the long wait times for surgery in Canada under the Government plan.



Sure the number is higher. Anyone who lives here know almost no one who is registered but many who are not.

Tman,

I'd think that the registered Americans are only 20% of those in foreign countries, why would you register? I've lived in the US for 18 year and have never registered with my embassy. I provide contact information for family and friends, not to the government.

I'll second that statement! I believe time will prove us correct.
