Hey guys,

I have just completed my undergrad (whoop-de-doo) and I was wondering if there are opportunities available for Canadians to work in the US.

I have heard various things from friends/limited internet research such as:
-You may only acquire positions in which you have skills for a position which an American could not fill.
-You can get a work Visa and work for 1-3 years.

So, I am wondering if people have additional information to add/clarify to these findings as well as experiences living and working in the US (or abroad for that matter). Was it easy to find work? What avenues did you use?

Cheers!
Nick
