Quaids plan to stay in Vancouver

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Randy Quaid beamed ear to ear and his wife Evi wore her new Canadian citizenship card pinned to her coat as the couple told reporters today about their plans to stay in Vancouver.

The plan is for Evi to sponsor Randy so he can stay in Canada. Randy was applying for refugee status, claiming “Hollywood star-whackers” in the US were out to kill him. But because his wife is a citizen, she can save him the trouble of the whole refugee process by sponsoring him here in Canada.

It’s expected he’ll be granted permanent resident status in about year, and that has Quaid feeling grateful. “Thank you, Canada. Thank you for your warm welcome, thank you for giving us the opportunity to live in peace,” he says.

Quaid still has legal matters south of the border, but his lawyer says they’re working to resolve them quickly. As for the star-whackers, Quaid says he feels much safer in Canada.
