My boyfriend lives in Michigan and I live in Canada but in order for him to be able to work in Canada I've been told that he has to have lived here for a year first (unless we marry).
So we're thinking that he live here and work in the US for that year. Is this okay and does anybody know where I can get more information on doing this?

It would probably be allowable, because he is a U.S. citizen. He would more than likely have to split his taxes somehow, but to figure out exactly how he would need to contact both the IRS and Canada Taxation offices. Don't forget that with the heightened security measures at the border, beginning January 2008 he would need to have a valid passport (even as a U.S. citizen) to be able to cross the border in a car. Air flights are already restricted.
I suggest that he talks to the Canadian Immigration Dept if it is his intention to seek either dual citizenship or to eventually become a Canadian citizen.

My husband and I are looking into doing the same thing. My husband travels for a living so he'll be on the road and then home for about 10 days. The one thing we are looking into is how it will look for him to cross the boarder 2 times a month. If your boyfriend is going to be going back and forth everyday that's something you really need to look into. Look into something called the Fast Pass, that may help.
Will he need to keep his residancy in the US? Can he use his work address? If not he can get a mailbox somewhere. It will just get tricky with taxes if he works in the US but has residancy in Canada.
If you find out any good info let me know. Good luck.

best thing is to go to the customs and immigrations, i have family in canada and they work in michigan, his best bet is to go there and find out what needs to be done, or how long it takes, I know in the area from where i am in michigan there are many canadian nurses working in michigan around 2 of the 3 border crossings

no longer purely are they distinct from one yet another yet like many countries there are huge adjustments even interior the country. In France the southerners are distinct from the northerners. In u . s . there are a range of adjustments by out the country. i'm positive it truly is a similar for Canada.

I'm sure there is some kind of form you will need to fill out for this to happen but if he's a US citizen he should be allowed to work here regardless of where he lives.

I'm not sure, but I think that would be allowed. My dad lives here in the US but works for a company in England...

You would have to talk to the immagration office on both sides. With the US having border issues and terror alert on high..you should really consider the disadvantages carefully.

Probably there is no bar.
