Question

Can I live and work in US with a canadian passport?

Answer 1

NO, you need a green card to work in the US first

Answer 2

You'll need to apply for the appropriate visa first.

Try an L, TN, H, or E visa, depending on what sort of work you're applying for.  For the differences, check my sources.

You'll either need to apply at a US consulate in Canada or, apparently for some, you can apply at the port of entry.

It's easier to get a work visa if you've got a special skill or if an employer in the US says they want you to come.
