Question

How would one go about moving to Canada from the US? How difficult might it be?

Answer 1

Lets be clear...........

You cannot just drive up and get a job in Canada.

You have to apply, and be accepted for Immigration, by the Government of Canada. The process will take about 2 to 3 years to complete, and there is no gurantee that you will be approved.

Canada is looking for people with specific education and job skills. What  employment skills  can you bring to us , that are  in demand in our country ?

Remember that you will be competing with hundreds of thousands of applicants, from all over the world, for a place in the line up.

Answer 2

Do you mean the physical moving there or the legal requirements for immigration?

For the latter, check the Canadian government's web site. They have detailed info about becoming a Canadian resident.

Answer 3

No more difficult than from any other country. You can pass the language requirement easily from the US.

There is a queue to get applications approved and a lot depends on your job skills and the demand for those skills in Canada.
