Hello,

(Please understand that I am neither a lawyer, nor do I have any solid information to back the following up. This is just from personal experience, so take it with a pinch, or more, of salt)

It would depend on a lot of other things.such as your citizenship, what sort of work you are looking for etc.

If you are looking to work in a professional field (there is a list that I am not able to find that specifies what the different jobs are), you will need a TN visa. This is the fastest way that I know how. H1 visas + Green card are long term solutions. For this you will need a university degree, certifications, an offer letter (appropriately worded).

TN Visas are same day arbitration, i.e., the Customs Officer will get your information and make a decision the same day.

But the key to going this route is that you need to have a job already lined up. Hope this helps a bit.

Edit: you can always try this link and go on the section on Visas http://toronto.usconsulate.gov/content/index.asp

There are also a lot of links here http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/

TN visa is right, and they're not easy to get I imagine. Unless you're super qualified for a job and a company can't find anyone already in the US to fill the position.
