Bank accounts - you can't open anything without a visa a SSN



Medical - massive expense



If Canada finds out you have gone down there they could determine you a non resident and you could owe taxes both in the US and Canada ( my first year down in the US i had to pay 2 times since i didn't claim correctly )



however, then i moved to Dubai for 3 years and worked tax free and it was amazing ... Visa is super easy to get as well.


The one thing regarding bank accounts and US credit cards is you can get them through RBC. https://www.rbcbank.com
