Are you a Canadian citizen who wants to work in the United States? It is possible, but you do need a visa. The type of visa you would require is a United States work visa, and there are many different types of these visas available.
Each of the types of United States work visas available has a different purpose. For example, if you are a Canadian who is being transferred to a United States branch of your Canadian company, you could be eligible for the L1 work visa. If you are a doctor or a lawyer who has a job offer in the United States, you could be eligible for the TN visa. If you have a bachelor’s degree or higher and work in a specialty occupation, the H1B work visa could be for you, while seasonal or temporary workers could apply for the H2B work visa.
