In a lot of cases, trained professionals can work in the U.S, on a "Trade-NAFTA" or TN visa. If you can't, (if your profession isn't listed--and I'm 90% sure it is) you'll need an H-1 Visa, which is a bit harder to get, but not impossible. You'll be paid in U.S. dollars and pay U.S. taxes as a Non-Resident Alien. (a little more than Canadian tax, actually--which was a surprise to me)
