PMM, why would you think that? The agreement clearly applies to "computer analysts". It is one of the approved areas which don't need an LMO. My research shows that lots of people use this category all the time, in fact, I work with a guy who went the other way (Canada to US) under this category...

Thanks. I already read it but it's not useful in a practical sense. What I'm looking for is some real life experience from someone whose done it. I can see that I qualify, but it doesn't really specify how much, how long, if you just pack up your things and assume that you'll get in, stuff like...

Man, finding info about this is hard. Supposedly a lot of people do it but the CIC website seems pretty silent about it. Anyway, assuming that I get a job offer (computer analyst), how does this all go? I just casually show up at the border one day with my passport, job offer and diploma and...

Howdy, I'm a US citizen who's had more than a decade of experience as a computer systems engineer and want to move to Canada. I may be interviewing for a position at my ideal employer but I know that immigration would be the stumbling block. Does anyone know how long it takes to get a permit to...

Thanks for the tip. It appears that NAFTA does help me, but now I've got to find out what the timeline of that would be. Just Google nafta-temporary-work-permit-canada and you'll see the info.

Howdy, I'm a US citizen who's looking to move to Ontario. I've got a university degree, plenty of funds, the whole nine yards, but I have just come to know that computer folks aren't fast tracked anymore. I may be up for an Information Services managerial position at a medical school in...

Is there a way around this for a native speaker? It's time consuming and an added expense, and not only am I a native born American, I was consistently offered scholarship after scholarship in university for my skills with the english language (declined). So, does anyone know any way around this...

Hey, I'll be coming from the US and wonder if they have any limitations on the amount of stuff you can bring in. Most stuff here is quite a bit cheaper, even before tax, than in Canada and I'd like to stock up before I make the move. Do they cut you off at some point? I could save many...

Hey, I'm planning to move to CA in the next year or two and the conversion rates are approaching a point where I will want to move a few hundred thousand US dollars into a CA bank account that I've had for years. I know that I'll have to pay tax on the interest I make on that money over time...

Man, I'm really starting to get depressed. I've got a good education, valuable technical skills, a good bit of money, good communications skills (even basic French), and a significant knowledge of Canada, nevertheless, I can't find a way in. Companies almost never offer jobs to people who aren't...

Again, thanks for the reply. You must be making a really big difference in the lives of a lot of people in helping them move to CA. I actually have thought about investor class, but I only qualify by a little. The thing which would stop me from doing it is the fact that you have to drop that...

Thanks for the reply. No, it's not one of the 38, so I guess that means that I can't apply for residency or even a work permit outside of Canada unless I have a job offer - which is pretty difficult to get even outside of a recession? So does that mean that the best course of action is showing...

Hey, I'm a US citizen who wants to move to Canada in the next year or two. I don't have a job offer but would like to apply for a visa so that I could move and have the ability to be hired. It seems nearly impossible to get a job offer without such status. From what I've seen, I best fit under...
