When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.

    I have checked the website out but I thought it would be nice if one of my fellow techs on tech forum have already tried to make entry.....just looking into some advice as to how to go about it really.

    Wouldn't you have to get dual citizenship, if working over there? or just a VISA?

    NO I think you can get a permanent residency instead of citizenship if I am correct. But I would it if someone with knowledge on the matter could shed some light on the topic.

    Many New Yorkers live in the USA and work in Canada, and they only need a drivers license to cross customs. At least it used to be that way.

    As of a couple of years ago you need a passport to drive across the border.

    Yep, that is what I was thinking. I went to Niagara Falls in 2000 & only had to show my DL...to leave the US, you must have a passport.

    It depends on where you live. We have an enhanced driver's license here in Michigan. Super easy to get across into Canada.

    Are you leaving if Trump gets elected? haha.

    I'm Canadian so I can't help you on how to come over here and work.
    I don't even know anyone who has done it. Generally it is the other way around. People from Canada move to the US to make more money and generally the cost of living is cheaper in the US for people with good jobs.

    PaySacale.ca says a average System Administrator make between 40K-80K in Canada (30K-60K
    USD and everything costs more here). Gas right how is about 1.05 a litre covered to USD and to a gallon that is $5.56 a gallon. Average house price $475K (more then double in Vancouver or Toronto).

    There are certain positions under NAFTA that allow people to work across the border with little paper work. Like a Systems Analyst, Graphic Designer, Engineer, etc... , but if Trump gets in he says hes getting rid of NAFTA so you better hurry ;)

    They also have [FONT=arial, sans-serif]NEXUS cards.[/FONT]

    [FONT=arial, sans-serif]But you can no loner just cross with a normal driver license you need some thing that proves your a citizen.[/FONT]
    I never bothered with the enhanced or NEXUS cards. If i'm going to go through that trouble and cost why not just get a passport that can be used across the world and not just the US. The NEXUS card would be nice if you cross a lot as they have a separate lane at the border for people who have those cards.

    Oh, yeah...That is now available here, basically a smart chip in it, correct? My DL expires in Feb 2017, so I will probably get the enhanced version.
