How can a Permanent Resident (Not Citizen) of Canada work in the US for Canadian employer?
I am a PR of canada and work in the US. What criteria do my employer has to meet other than being a Canadian employer. I might need H-1 visa to work in the US. So does my Canadian employer has to have US office or can it be a different US employer who can sponsor my H-1?

If you are doing warranty work or installation work or repair work of Canadian equipment sold to an American co, then you can work in the US, provided you have the proper documentation provided by your employer as prescribed in the NAFTA. Be prepared for thorough checks at the border, lots and lots of questions and occasionally being turned away at the border.

The easiest way is with a TN visa. However, until you get Canadian citizenship, the TN is not available to you. If the Canadian company has a US office, they can apply for an L visa for you which is for intra company transfers. However, they are harder for non-Canadian citizens. Otherwise you have to get an H-1B. However there are exxentially no employers looking for H-1B hires rightnow unless you have some incredibly unique skills.

After you turn 18, you will probably be able to get a Working Holiday visa for Canada, but you have no chance until then. For info go to: http://www.whpcanada.org.au/introduction.shtml

the only visa you will qualify for is a working holiday visa

Do you know how many young canadians attend college and graduate with diplomas in hospitality management? Thousands every year. My husband was one of them.
