NAFTA?

my understanding was a nafta visa is only valid for certains types of work.. its pretty restrictive
anything else?

Canadians working in America have it the best. They make American dollars to take back to Canada to live like kings. 1 American dollar buys about 200 hundred canadian dollars, and canadians go crazy when they see american dollars. Its like some sort of divine material up there.

but how do you work the visas, work permits etc?

Heh I'm in Calgary right now and my cousin/her bf "hates" us Americans because we determine their almighty dollar. Earning the same amount, they pay more money for the same goods. I can't help but agree with him. I have come to realize how much we're starting to take over our neighbors here to the north.

It's $1.55CAN to $1US right now.

The trade-off is that the whole world dislikes us. Oh well... we lose I guess!! It feels oh-so-good!
