Jokes on you my country of citizenship is already a third world country
Just look for a job and make sure you’ve got a visa. Third world countries have a lot more “informal economy” that isn’t taxed or handled with paperwork so it’s possible sometimes to just find a job without paperwork or anything, but that won’t help you get a permanent visa.
Ideally, you get a visa that allows work, show you’re working, and then the visa gets upgraded to a permanent resident visa. This varies a lot from country to country. If you’ve got a job, some countries are pretty happy to have you adding to their local economy and will extend you a visa. If you’ve got a remote job that might go even faster.
Alternatively if you’re not skilled in any way, you apply to a super cheap college and apply for a student visa, that’ll buy you a few years while you’re getting skilled in something that country needs. Studying to become a doctor, lawyer, or STEM goes a long way. One of these probably is in demand there, figure out which one and take a crack at it. Hard, for sure, but a pretty solid way to build something long term. Of course if you don’t know the language that will be harder, but colleges generally have language classes too, so that could be the first classes you take.
There’s also teaching English, it’s generally not too hard to find work as a tutor or English teacher, I saw the other day like there’s only one English teacher for every 500 open positions. So that’s a possibility too.
Just generally try to participate in their economy. Try to make local friends and assimilate. Think about what first generation immigrants do: find a steady job or bust ass studying tech or medicine.
Learn to speak Canadian.
Take off, hoser.
That means “I love you” in Canuckistanian.
Whale oil beef-hooked!
(A newfie taught me that one eons ago)
Luckily, my country can’t do that. I can relinquish citizenship, but the government can’t remove it.
Seduce a man I guess.
I work in healthcare and husband works in engineering. Hopefully we could live cheaply enough to survive on the $ we have and possibly be viewed as helpful enough to the community to gain some level of security.
You would very likely lose all access to any and all resources and bank accounts you had in the event something like this happened. It’s pretty much guaranteed that if it ain’t in your pocket you won’t have access to it.

My useless depressed ass is definitely getting gunned down on sight
I’d just be a burden to everyone
😭
It really depends on which one. For many it’s just over. Others I look for community and attempt to ply my skilled and educated labor.
Joke’s on you… I was already barely surviving.
Spend my dollars on an apartment and a house cleaner, start networking with other folks, get a job. It’s not hard.
