I'm not going to list any sites for you - all I can say is that you need to get to a Canadian embassy and have it out with them. \n\nYour wife should be filing papers for you, petitioning for a work visa for yourself. This is all an expensive process - you're going to need to apply for citizenship and it may take up to 3 years. \n\nJust.. trust me when I say you need to go to an embassy.

Follow this link: \nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca\nIts a Canadian Govt website that guides you to immigrate to Canada as a skilled (qualified) labour. You can also do a point assessment before you start the process. If you have 67 points (much less in provinces that have less population, i.e. PEI, NW Territories, etc ) you can then initiate the application procedure which will then take about a year before you actually receive a resident status.

His best bet is to work in the UK for a few years in a specialized field for a large company and get a transfer with the same company to the US on a L1 visa.  I did it this way.  You can then live and work in the US for at least 5 years. \n \nHowever, I was also engaged to a US citizen at the time and have since got married and a green card.

Not at all.  Just long.\n\nFirst you have to sign a letter of intention with the INS.\n\nThen for about 5 years you have to live in the US without getting in trouble with the law (felony), and during this time you'll need to take classes on US history and civics.\nAnd, you'll need to brush up on your English.\n\nAfter 5 years, you'll have an interview with an INS agent, and they'll do a criminal background check, and do an employment referal.\nAfterwards, they'll give you an oral exam dealing with US history, US & state domicile government (know your governor, representative, and senators' names).\n\nOnced you've passed, all you have to do is pledge allegance to the US in a US courthouse.  Pick up a certificate and you're a naturalized citizen.

No, you can't . Most of these morons think that becoming a legal resident and citizen is an easy task, It's not.\nYou have to apply in your country of birth for legal residence,  doing so will take about seven to 10 years. to do that you must prove to have a clean record and have no convictions, you must show proof that you have the monetary capacity to live in your native land and pay for your food, clothing and place to live (which is a bit contradictory since most immigrants aim to come here because they lack this) after that you must have a background check and wait for this to clear. If you're lucky (and I do mean Lucky) you'll have an interview with someone at the American Embassy and depending on how that goes you may have to wait about a year to receive your "green card". All this is done while you live in your country, not here.\n\n\nGood luck

You will have to establish permanent residency in that state, and every state will have different policies for this. Look into the states official policy on establishing residency. My guess is that many states will require you to have lived there for 2 or 3 years first.

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.
