Oh my goodness. Please don't trust the earlier answers. Canada is not that cold - depending where you want to move to. If you move to the west coast like Vancouver and Victoria, the weather is very mild here. This has been a strange year for weather, but otherwise Vancouver and Victoria rarely see any snow in the winter and a lot warmer than many U.S. cities.
Not sure what you mean by "rules" about moving to Canada. If you want to work in Canada, you do need a work visa or resident status. You cannot expect to walk across the border and get a job. If you don't have a Canadian "Social Insurance Number", you don't have legal working status in Canada. Check on Canadian government websites for immigration information.

Yes, there are laws governing immigrating to Canada.
Which means, if you live in the US, (or any other country) you can't just pick up your stuff and move over the border into Canada.
You must first apply for a work visa, a visitor visa (you can't work or go to school on that), a student visa, or a temporary or permanent residence visa, and be approved and issued a social insurance number before you can live legally in Canada, and work or go to school, whatever your situation may be.
All of the forms and information is included for download at the website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/
It costs about $1,200 per person in fee's and other costs, and takes 1-3 years on average, sometimes more, depending much on the class of immigration you apply for and the circumstances. For some types of Visa's and Immigration, you also have to show a certain amount of financial resources and/or have a sponsor.
All the information is available at the website above.
