I have been to Canada many many times for my business and my husband used to work in Trois River.  I love Canada and I do think their system is much better than the system we have in the US.  I would love to live in Canada except for one thing:  it is too darn cold up there and I love the USA.  The USA has gotten off on the wrong foot the past 15 or so years but I have faith we can get back on track after the next presidential election.

Generally speaking, you may not. Your residence is your domicile, the place where you vote, hold a driver's license, etc. Of course, you can work anywhere, whether in that state or in another, and though there may be some minor tax implications, they do not have any relevance to your "residency."

NO\n\nbut owning property and able to work you can probably get a permanant residance status easier if not a burden to the system.\n\nCanadaas official website is\n\nwww.canada.gc.ca

I secured a job in Florida when I was still living in Michigan.  In your cover letter explain your reasons for moving, it is also good to have a plan (ie - where you are going to live, potential move date, etc.) so that they know you are serious.  Also state in the cover letter that you are willing to fly to see them for an interview.  These points will let the potential employer know that you are actually serious about moving and not just playing around with the idea.

You have a very good chance of being accepted. Depending on the country you live in, you can either go there on a tourist visa and arragne a job there or arrange a job over the internet - either way, you should have a job lined up before you apply for a work visa. It's difficult to get one otherwise. The process is long and frustrating, but www.cic.gc.ca should have the information you need.

please don't listen to what the others have to say. The US is a great place to live and visit. If you want a quiet, good life for your family, thinking about Canada also isn't a bad idea. Canada is BEAUTIFUL, I've been there and their communities are great.\n\nThis website directs you to where and how you can apply for Canadian citizenship, or an immigration/work permit.\n\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/offices/apply-where.html\n\nCanada's sites for information are great, and this site will be much more informative than anyone's opinion on yahoo :)\n\ngood luck with your family, and may your child grow up to be beautiful,strong, and healthy. I wish you and your husband the best.

Definitely Canada - you would have marriage and adoption rights, socialized medicine, more open minded neighbors, less violence . . . trouble is getting into the country to begin with.  Unless you own your own business it would be difficult.  They're recruiting young small business owners to emigrate & bolster the economy on the local level, but other than that Canada has a tougher immigration policy than the U.S.

Unfortunately Toronto has the highest cost of living in Canada.  If you have the option, you might considering moving somewhere else.

None.  Canada is not a viable place to live, eh?

I am an American working for our State Department. I spent two years recently living and working in Canada with a foreigner work permit. I have helped friends in Bulgaria apply for immigration into Canada and read the on-line pop up ads that are everywhere you try to look for information. My advice is that it depends on your situation. If you speak and read English or French at near fluency levels, and you do not have a complicated exiting country problem, criminal record, family or health problems, then you should be able to read and understand the requirements as stated by the government websites. However, if you do not have confidence in your language skills or you do not have a native English or French speaker to help you through all the bureaucracy, then it is more appropriate for you to hire a immigration consultant or lawyer. Be careful either way, as there are many non-government sites portraying themselves as real official sites demanding money for the same thing you can do for no charge, and their are lots of people who will take your credit/debit card for money and never provide you a bit of service for the fee they collect. The best situation is if you know someone in Canada (which is a wonderful clean, safe, beautiful democratic and modern country with unlimited opportunities) who has recently immigrated then ask for their help and advice. Best wishes! Mike

One of the things to consider when making a move from one country to another to work is that it is oftentimes difficult to find similar or same level work from your country of origin to the new country. Unless a company sponsors you when you are still in your origin country, your chances of getting the same job is not easy. You may be in management level now in Africa, but sometimes you need to lower your expectations and be willing to accept lower-level jobs. It's just one fact facing immigrants.\n\nYou first have to find employers and get a work visa. In the US, the worker can get you H1B visa whereby you get work visa for 6 years. Or you can do the longer employment-based immigration process.\n\nHere's the immigration information of Canada\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ilmi/index.html

Firstly, Canada is a pretty big place. And very different from coast to coast. So where do you want to go? Are you moving (considering to move)from the US? It would help to know that.  And well everything else matters too. So more info would be good cause it really depends on your situation. 20, 40, 80? Single? Children? well basically it goes like this:\n\nDramatically less violent crime (much less guns)\nNo death penalty (your kids aren't going to get hung for stealing some gum)\nEverything is as good quality or better than the US (education system, telecommunications, health care, movie industry etc etc EVERYTHING... the US is our biggest trading partner and we were, until last year, Americas biggest trading partner (now its china)\nThe environment is in far better shape (we have 1/10 the population so you will notice that the place is much greener and cleaner)\nWe don't start wars (so your kids wont get conscripted into some crazy mans army)\nWe are a conservative, tollerant, relaxed society\n\nbut that ain't for everyone...
