All the information about Immigrating to Canada can be found on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/\nIt is the only website you need to look at.\n\nYou can't just move to Canada and be able to work there legally. To apply for Canadian citizenship you must first become a permanent resident and after 3 years of continuous uninterrupted residence you can apply for citizenship.\n\nAs and American you have 3 choices to work in Canada:\n\n1)Apply for a NAFTA worker status (the easiest)\n Must have a bachelor degree, work experience and job offer.\n To get this status you simply go to the Canadian border\n with your proof of qualifications and job offer and you \n get status on the spot. You must renew it once a year.\n2) Work visa. \n  Apply at the Canadian Embassy with your job offer. \n3) Apply for permanent residency:\n  Take this test to see if you qualify:\n   http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/assess/index.html\n\nOnly option 3 provides a path to citizenship. The first 2 (no matter how long time you spend in Canada) won't allow you to apply for citizenship.

you go to the nearest canadian consulate that does immigration services.  you can find the consulate closest to you at this page:\n\nhttp://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp#u\n\nhowever, note the following:\n\n"Immigration services are only provided by Canadian offices in Buffalo, Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. Other Canadian offices in the United States do not provide visa and immigration services."\n\nfor information on how to immigrate, see the website of citizenship and immigration canada:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html\n\nnote that you may also want to hire an immigration lawyer here in the states, since they will be able to advise you on the process and let you know what your chances are of being accepted for different visas, etc.  search the web for immigration lawyer and your hometown.  often if you can't travel to the consulate to do all the work yourself, you can authorize your lawyer to take care of a lot of the legwork.

As an EMPLOYER - you can, but not as an employee.\n\nYou may want to read the US Citizenship and Immigration Services document on Employment based Immigration:\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/employment.htm

In order to work for the US government, you must be a US citizen.

Contrary to what the poster above me said, a non-US citizen CANNOT get federal jobs. US citizenship is a requirement for government jobs.\n\nFind a US company in your field, and see if they will sponsor you. If they do, they can proceed with employment-based application for green card where you get employment approval first from Department of Labor (e.g. the employer needs to prove that no Americans can fill the job as well as you, and that they tried to look for an American to fill the job to no avail). It can be a long process depending on the state. Or they can put you on the fast-track H1B process, but you can only stay for a maximum of 6 years. \n\nI suggest you start looking for recruiters in your area (e.g. nurses are one in-demand job) who can connect you with potential employers. Or you can come to the US on a visitors visa and try your luck in getting a job while you have valid visa.

Generally, the employer has to want to hire you.  Legally, you have to be a citizen, have a green card, or have the company sponsor you.  I'm not exactly familiar with the immigration and work laws for foreigners.  Of course, there are all of those jobs under the table, but that's not supposed to count.

I can't comment on Canadian tax law.  The American (I'll interpret that to mean US citizen) is subject to US tax law regardless of residence or source of income.  The link below is an IRS FAQ for US Citizens living Abroad.  I saw at least 3 questions that specifically mention Canada.  I don't know any of the rules, but this should be a good place to start researching.

Yes, you can work. When this happened to us we got an appointment and they put a stamp in our passport that says "processed for I-551. Temporary evidence of lawful admission for permanent residence. Employment Authorized". Also you are supposed to receive a letter that stated that your case is being reviewed. We even used this stamp and letter to travel outside of the US. Just make sure you get an appointment with your local office. We had to go twice to sort this thing out! Good luck!

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

Just like any other immigrants wishing to become naturalized American citizens, you need to apply for green card first.  Once you've had your green card, you need to legally reside in the US for five years before you can apply for your citizenship.  The final act would be the interview and test before your swearing oath ceremony.  Go to ins.gov for more information on how to obtain a green card.\n\nPS: Canadian actors have it easier cause their acting skill is considered unique and beneficial to America.  Who knew...

I suggest you try mailing information about the work you do to U.S. and Canadian contractors.  There are websites galore on the internet for almost every contractor there is in the U.S.  Yahoo Answers isn't a very good place to be asking someone to get you work because they don't know you.\n\nCheck out http://www.builderspace.com.  This website will give you links to some of the major contractors in U.S. and you can even choose the speciality (i.e. mechanical vs. carpentry).

It doesn't matter where your employer is. If you are doing the work inside the United States you require a work permit from the U.S.  \n\nYou can apply for this from the immigration bureau.  If you are on the up and up it should not be difficult to get.
