Can I drive up to Canada to job-hunt? How common is it for Americans to work in Canada
Can I drive up to Canada to job-hunt? How common is it for Americans to work in Canada?
I just graduated from college with a business degree, and I'd love to live and work in Canada. I live a few hours drive from the border. Can I simply drive there and look for a job? How much of a hurdle will it be that I don't hold Canadian citizenship? Will the red tape be a major problem in getting hired? Thanks!

You can drive up there and look for a job, but you'll need a work visa to actually be employed there. Under the table jobs are quite risky; I don't recommend it for you'll never be able to go back to Canada after being kicked out, or at least not for ages. I knew of am American music student who did a tutoring job on the side. One day she was in class and the next she was gone. Found out she was "discovered" (we think thanks to a disgruntled neighbor) and had to leave immediately without completing her degree. Check out www.canadavisalaw.com for some answers or decent lawyers who might be able to help you get a permit.

no one will even look at you unless you have a work visa http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp

You need to apply to immigrate http://www.cic.gc.ca/ Plan ahead as there is a long queue. Once you get your visa, you can apply for jobs.

Unfortunately without a specialized degree in a field that has a shortage of qualified workers you won't find any companies interested in you because they can find someone who is fully qualified to work in Canada very easily. Why not try to find a job in the USA for a company that does a lot of business with Canada, maybe you'll get to travel in Canada extensively for work!!

Yes, you can look for a job, but Canadian employers will not be able to hire you unless certain criteria are met. If they cannot find a qualified Canadian to fill the job sometimes an employer can sponsor someone from another country for the position, but it is a lengthy process and tedious. There would be quite a bit of red tape in getting hired. With that said, I know several US citizens who have found work in Canada and live here full time now. You really need to become very familiar with the Canadian immigration site which a previous poster gave you. Best of luck with your plans.

Besides the issues that would accompany working in another country (visa, taxes, etc.) you will likely require to re-certify in Canada. Canada's standards for lifeguarding are regulated by the Lifesaving Society (www.lifesavingsociety.com), and rumour has it that our standards are a little higher than the ARC standards. Because you are certified under the ARC, you will need to take the course, but I would see if you can just take a re-certification course (in lieu of the full 5+ day course). Swim instruction is also a little different here. I'm not 100% sure how the transition would work, but it would definitely depend on who you are certified to teach with. There are a number of organizations that are used to teach swim lessons and it depends on your place of employment (Lifesaving Society, Canadian Red Cross, YMCA, etc.). If they use the Canadian Red Cross, you might be OK with an ARC instruction certification. The best thing you can do is ask your employer. They might have standards that require full certification (as most do), however there are some summer camps that only require "Lifesavers" to be on duty (anyone with the equivalent of a Bronze Cross Lifesaving Society certification). Oh - one more thing. Check to see if you can be certified with the International Lifesaving Society. It might be worth the time to get an international lifeguarding license; you might get lucky in trying to re-certify from ARC to Lifesaving Society.
