Canadian Citizen wanting US Recindecy. how can it be done

Hi, Im a canadian citizen, and ya you might be asking why i want to move to the US. but as everyone. I have my reasons lol. and well ya i was wondering if anyone knew what would be the fastest way to get th green card.? thx so much

You can't just apply for a Green Card. You have to be sponsored either through family or an employer. To do it through an employer you have to be eligible for a TN Visa, and if not then you have to start by changing careers or find someone to marry

If you find an employer willing to hire you and sponsor you for a TN, you can come and work. You can try to go from TN to Green Card, or you get the company to sponsor you for an H1-B (if you can win that lottery), then go H1 to Green Card route. They just accepted a whole ton of applications which may backlog the processing in a different part of the processing chaing

Keep in mind, it takes 5 years or more, and losing a job can cause problems.

I had a quick question about this. Myself, I am an accountant, and this would qualify under the listed professionals for a TN visa. However, My goal is to eventually become a permanent resident, ala a green card. However, I am wondering, would my best bet in doing so be to apply for an H1-B visa and THEN apply for the green card status?


I had read that it is highly frowned upon if you apply for a green card while under TN status so this is why i pose the question.

thank you.

There are dozens of threads here with information about TN visas, please search them.
