Hiring a Canadian
Hiring a Canadian for a high-tech job in the US is very easy thanks to the Free Trade Agreement. There are two methods that can be used depending on the urgency of filling the position.
The first method, and the easiest for the employer, is to simply offer a job in writing. The employee then shows up at the border with the written job offer, a contact name for the employing company, and a record of education/experience. The employee applies for a TN-1 visa and the application is processed immediately. A TN-1 visa allows him/her to work in the US for one year. There are no restrictions on the number of visas issued or the number of times an employee can renew. The employee can apply for a Green Card while working on the TN-1 visa.
The second method is to sponsor a Canadian for a H-1B visa. The H-1B visa requires sponsorship, which includes legal filings, by the company, allows the employee to work for up to six years in the US, has a cap on the number of visas issued every year, and takes 2 to 3 months to process. The employee can apply for a Green Card while working on the H-1B visa.
