Hiring an American
I am looking at hiring a US citizen.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Is the process to get him a visa employer or employee driven.
Thanks

I'd find this out first.
1. What are your religious views?
2. What are your political views?
3. What are your gun control views?

I only have experience with the reverse situation, but I think it is mostly similar.
If they meet the requirements for one of the TN professions, it is a pretty easy process:
http://canada.usembassy.gov/visas/do...-by-nafta.html
Basically, you just write a letter with the job offer, and they show up at the border and get approval for a year.
And then can renew every year in similar fashion.
Not too sure about the more permanent visas.

What nfotiu wrote is pretty much what I was going to say. I think the level of hassle for them will depend on what profession they are in, and if they are looking to stay here permanently or not.

Yeah I went to the Canadian version of that US site and the link to jobs was dead.
I think his end goal is to stay in Canada, I mean who the hell wouldn't want that?

Canada is a bad ass country, but I don't think I can deal with the cold temps for that long.

The TN visa is very cheap and easy. Probably could do the letter without even hiring a lawyer. It seems you can renew them pretty much indefinitely, but you do have to renew them. If it is like the US, they are not a path to citizenship if that is an issue.
If eligible, start with the TN, and work on the more permanent visa once he's here. Or if he is single, count on him marrying a Canadian after a while.

Could you even ask such dumb questions if you were hiring a Canadian?

Are you busy this Sunday morning? did you want to go golfing? I hear you President likes golfing, I'm not sure where he learned that in Kenya, but whatever.
Have you ever been to Edmonton? they have this big mall, where you can rent semi atuomatic weapons to shoot., in a controlled environment.
Do you have any pitbulls?

Good job in representing your country as the one that is more tolerant, open-minded and devoid of stereotypes.

I've been golfin a few times, it's fun and hell yea I would go golfing with the president. I may not agree with him politically, but I think he is a cool guy. I'm not a birther and can care less where he was born since his mother is American that makes him an American

No I haven't been to Edmonton,
You get to rent semi auto weapons? Wow, that's interesting but what does this have to do with the job?

No I do not own pitbulls, it's not the anima,l it's the owner that is the problem. Again I see nothing that this question has to do with the job I am interviewing for. With that being said I will be sure to refer this to the labour board and let them ask you a few questions..

relocate? I guess you can call it that.
I had eight years of snow, it was great for the first few months and then it sucked after that.
