Foreign national

A foreign national is any person who is not a national of a particular country. For example, a foreign national in Canada is someone who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident.[1]

In the United States

The term foreign national is not defined in United States immigration law, which uses the term alien instead. However, it is used in US election law to identify people who may not contribute to federal campaigns. For this purpose, the definition excludes permanent residents even though they do not possess U.S. nationality: "the term 'foreign national' means. . . an individual who is not a citizen of the United States or a national of the United States (as defined in section 1101(a)(22) of title 8) and who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence, as defined by section 1101(a)(20) of title 8."[2] In other words, U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and permanent U.S. residents are not foreign nationals for the purpose of making campaign contributions.[3]

In Canada

The law of Canada divides people into three major groups: citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals.[1] Under section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection of Canada (IRPA), "foreign national means a person who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, and includes a stateless person."[4]

gollark: Probably not *explicitly*, but I assume this is roughly the thinking.
gollark: I think the problem is that everyone thinks "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better"
gollark: > Instead write an actual program. Something fun, something useful, something completely useless and over-complicated. Whatever. As long as you learn a ton and have fun I don't care - that is what ComputerCraft is about :). But please don't just make an operating system.
