Will move to a major city like Vancouver or Toronto. Will I have trouble working in Canada? How hard is it to get dual citizenship?

I'm from Indiana and have dual citizenship. It is easy for Americans to achieve Canadian citizenship, especially if they have a good education. Join Democrats Abroad in Canada. It is a good organization. We have good times at a pub, speakers from the States, and vote from here in the US elections. I'm with you. If the Republicans win, I may stop visiting my relatives. Bush is an abomination and a great embarrassment. He's not at all popular, up here.

Why do you want dual citizenship? If you immigrate to a new country, you owe your loyalty and allegience to that new country. Canada doesn't need anymore citizens of convenience - we learned that lesson last summer trying to get 47,000 'citizens' out of Lebanon who mostly complained about the poor service (hey look on a globe - we ain't that close) and mostly just returned anyways. If you want to keep your old citizenship, I suggest you stay where you are but feel free to come and visit - I can assure you despite all you may hear on FOX news, America has no greater friend in this world then Canada and there are no two countries as much alike and as blessed with good fortune, beautiful countrysides and amazing people

It depends on your line of work. If you like the financial industry Toronto is the place. Both of the provinces Ontario and British Columbia have a lot of opportunity. Getting a dual citizenship comes after you have had landed immigrant status for a while. They like it when you have been employed and have not gotten a criminal record. Then citizenship is not hard to come by. Good luck!

A U.S. Citizen has to go through the entire immigration process just like anyone else from anywhere else in the world. It does tend to be a bit easier/faster from the U.S., but you still better plan on it taking 1-3 years and costing you $1,200 in application fees and associated costs.
Once you have lived in Canada as a Permanent Resident for three years, you can apply for Canadian Citizenship, which would then give you dual citizenship.
This is the official Canadian Immigration website, and includes a self-assessment to see if you are eligible to immigrate to Canada. (Listed under immigration as skilled worker.)

You will have to speak to a Canadian immigration lawyer. Generally speaking, unless you have family or a spouse (opposite or same-sex) in Canada, you must be a skilled worker.
I'd personally go somewhere warmer, like Costa Rica, Panama, etc.

You have to apply to immigrate to Canada - you can't just move here.

Why don't you work very hard to get a candidate from a different party elected before you give up?

Vancouver is beautiful, but there is more money and opportunity in Toronto
