What is the easiest way for an American to begin living in Canada?

Answer 1

Sneak across the border with North Dakota where there's lonly a few markers on the wheat fields.... Do it in the warmer months of the year though, in winter it can be quite cold up there.

Answer 2

Good Question, I'm going through the same problem here, Check it out, one of the easiest ways is to have a good education and job prospects in Canada before attempting to settle down. The more you bring to the table (i.e college degree, job opportunity, good attitude, high income potential) the more welcoming the Canadian government will be. These things are not required for landed immigrant status but they do grease the rails A LOT. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Not really all that easy. Americans are not allowed to "work" in Canada. My boyfriend travels there for work sometimes and he is not allowed to move a box or do any work. He has to direct a Canadian worker to do the work for him. Then he falls under a consultant and not a laborer.

So to move there to live you will have to move your residency, and I think you have to have a working knowledge of French to do that.

Answer 4

working knowledge of French??...now that is priceless..

If the job needs French, the worker needs french...
