Permanent residence in the USA has no significance for Canada except to assure that you are likely to return to the USA after a visit, and so make obtaining a visa (if you need one) easier.\n\nNor is it relevant to working in Canada, and it doesn't afford NAFTA rights. On the other hand, you should be able to travel to Canada on behalf of your US employer on, say, a business or sales trip.\n\nTechnically, you have no rights even with respect to cross-border factories (of which there are a few). But sometimes technical rules are ignored: imagine the staff of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House being told they could not perform any function in the half of the building that is in the "other" country than that of their nationality. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_Free_Library_and_Opera_House\nhttp://www.pbpub.com/haskell.htm

I am Canadian.  My husband and I own a businesse.  I recently hired a girl from the states.  I think she lied about her status when we hired her.  My neighbours are from the states.  She does not have her green card so cannot work so, she volunteers and her husband and makes very good money.  \nI suggest you figure out what city you would like to live in and depending on your line of work, put an application to the firm or business you would like to be employed by.\nI live in London, Ontario.

If you are not an American citizen, you need a "Green Card," which is a work permit issued by the Federal Government.\n\nI think that you can work here without a Green Card if you have certain types of visas.  Check with the consulate or embassy in your country.\n\nA United States Permanent Resident Card, also known popularly as Green Card, is an identification card for a permanent resident of the United States of America who does not have U.S. citizenship. It is proof that the holder has permission to permanently reside and take employment in the U.S. Its "former" official title was Alien Registration Receipt Card, and it is now officially called a Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as form I-551.\n\nThe name "green card" comes from the fact that the cards were originally green. Their color has changed over the years, but the term "green card" has remained in use. As of 2005, the card is mostly white and the only prominent green feature is the lettering on the back of the card. A card includes the holder's name and photograph, and other information, and has been updated over the years with numerous anti-counterfeiting devices. The latest hologram on the back of the card contains representations of all American presidents, flags of each state, image of the card holder and other personal information found on the front of the card.\n\nThe card must be in the possession of the U.S. permanent resident at all times. This means the U.S. permanent resident must have a currently valid card on their person at all times, to show to an USCIS officer, if requested. One interesting aspect of American law is that permanent residents are required to carry identification cards, but citizens are not.\n\nGreen cards were formerly issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). That agency's functions have been shifted to the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formerly the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) in the Department of Homeland Security.\n\nIt is possible that an alien wants to work while the application for a green card is pending. Employment Authorization Document(EAD) is needed in this case.\n\nWikipedia knows all.

The letter employment should contain the following information:\n\nJob title (Make sure it fits on the NAFTA list so the immigration officers don't  have to hunt for it.)\nBrief Job Description\nJob Requirements (EDUCATION required, since it is a NAFTA job.)\nLength of stay. (Include that it is a temporary, one-year offer.)\nRenumeration (Salary, benefits, etc.)\n\nHave the company write it on letterhead if you can.

Unlike the Canadian immigration system, which  assesses points for an applicant's individual qualities (i.e., education, family ties, job offer, etc.),  the US system is largely based upon an alien being petitioned by either an employer or a close family member.\n\nTo be eligible for an employment-based petition, your employer has to prove that no USC can be found to do that particular position, or you have to have some sort of highly specialized or extraordinary job skill to come in as an immigrant worker.\n\nTo be eligible for a family-based petition, your US Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident Spouse/Child/Parent or US Citizen sibling has to petition for you for you to come in as an immigrant family member.\n\nThere are other categories: people filing for asylum/refugee status,  people who win the Diversity Visa Lottery (only certain countries are allowed to "play") and those who have lived in the US for many years illegally (10+) who can show that their deportation would cause extreme and exceptionally unusual  hardship on their USC or LPR spouse, parent or children.  This is an extremely high and difficult standard to meet.\n\nDue to the NAFTA agreement, there are special rules for Canadians to enter for temporary (non-immigrant) typed jobs.  This status is called "TN."  There are specific job categories that apply, most do require attaining a college degree.\n\nAnd, there are of course, all sorts of other temporary non-immigrant type visas:  tourist, student, performing artist, etc. \n\nYou really shoudl consult an immigration attorney.  I do not know where in Canada you reside, but there is a very well known immigration firm in Canada that would be good to consult with.  See link below.\n\nGood luck.

You need to apply for a job on the U.S, get a solid offer and the company is then responsible for getting you a visa and work permit. You can not just travel and look for a job.

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

Sure you can obtain jobs in the United States, not only as a web designer. Not much criteria needed as long as you have the tools or background that will qualify you to be on board. \n\nAll you need is look for companies that are willing to sponsor you're working permit, i.e., H1-B visa. Usually private companies sponsor international applicants. Companies like Nokia, Sprint-Nextel, Intel, IBM, LCC, etc. are examples of companies that would be able to provide sponsorship. \n\nHowever, there are companies that doesn't provide sponsorships. These companies (private companies) whose nature of business is having contracts with the U.S. federal government, mostly in the Washington, DC area. Generally, they require U.S. citizenship and security clearance to apply. Companies that perform government contracting or consulting are Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, etc.\n\nIf you're still interested in learning the requirements or papers that you might want to consider the following websites:\n\nDepartment of Homeland Security: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/\n\nDepartment of State:\nhttp://www.state.gov/\n\nDepartment of Labor:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/\n\nMore information on obtaining a working visa:\nhttp://usimmigration.visapro.com/work-vi...\n\nGood Luck.

Most anybody can hire you in the USA. It depends on your  experience and what you really want. It is easier for foreigners to get a job in the USA then for Americans to get a job abroad. I know this from experience. Create a well written accurate resume and make a list of places you want to work and go for it.

There is a ton of information on the web (see link).  You can apply as a skilled worker, but it takes a lot of time.  If you are a US or Mexican citizen you may be able to get in quicker under the NAFTA rules if you find a job in Canada.
