American actor Randy Quaid says he's won his legal fight to stay in Canada, after the Canada Border Services Agency dropped inadmissibility proceedings against him.

At a news conference with his wife and lawyer on Wednesday morning in Vancouver, Quaid said he and his wife Evi were relieved by the news.

"When Evi and I came to Canada last October we could never have envisioned how things would unfold and how our lives would change. Today we're here to say thank you Canada. Thank you for your warm welcome. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to live in peace," he said.

Randy and Evi Quaid applied for refugee status in October, claiming they were being persecuted in the U.S. and were possible targets of so-called "Hollywood star-whackers" who were bent on killing actors.

5. I believe there is some truth to what they were saying

13. I hope this relieves some of their suffering.

People have no idea what it's like to imagine things that aren't true, but can't stop thinking them.

A tea-bagger joke comes to mind, but really, i'm serious. My dad had periods in his life like that.

I've enjoyed Randy's acting, i hope they treat them well.
