[QUOTE=... and what about the tax thing? I hear if you get paid in Canadian dollars, you pay Canadian taxes, which could end up being better if you're above a certain income bracket?[/QUOTE]
well first of all, the tax brackets are MUCH BETTER down here. taxes arent quite as high. um..i dont think many companies down here are going to pay you in canadian dollars. i havent heard of that. every canadian i know down here gets paid in US dollars, and pays their bills in US dollars...however, i know there is some clause if you don't claim US residency that you dont have to pay them tax but pay canada tax.
BUT..if you do that, then you wont be able to stay here for longer than that year of your NAFTA visa....basically, if you WANT to remain in the US and be considered a resident longer than that year, you want to pay US taxes.
And trust me, it is SO EASY to find jobs here...
No offense to any AMericans reading this, but any of you Canadians who move down here to work or pursue furthur studies, you will feel like you're smarter cuz that education system up north is just amazing!
