  2. no.you need a permit.write to me and i can tell u more.

  3. Perhaps you may.  

    It is very easy for Canadians to get a NAFTA permit to work in the USA.  (Mexico is a different story but you may be able to work in Mexico as well but not automatically.  there are some formalities that you must go thu.)

    So for a Canadian to work in the US please see below

    Overview

    NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement. It creates special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico, as NAFTA professionals to work in the United States. Permanent residents, including Canadian permanent residents, are not able to apply to work as a NAFTA professional.

    How Can Professionals from Mexico and Canada Work in the United States?

    Professionals of Canada or Mexico may work in the U.S. under the following conditions:

        * Applicant is a citizen of Canada or Mexico;

        * Profession is on the NAFTA list;

        * Position in the U.S. requires a NAFTA professional;

        * Mexican or Canadian applicant is to work in a prearranged full-time or part-time job, for a U.S. employer (see documentation required). Self employment is not permitted;

        * Professional Canadian or Mexican citizen has the qualifications of the profession  

    The requirements for applying for citizens of Canada and Mexico, shown below, are different.

    Requirements for Canadian Citizens

    Canadian citizens usually do not need a visa as a NAFTA Professional, although a visa can be issued to qualified TN visa applicants upon request. However, a Canadian residing in another country with a non-Canadian spouse and children would need a visa to enable the spouse and children to be able to apply for a visa to accompany or join the NAFTA Professional, as a TD visa holder. To apply for visa, please see the requirements under the section Mexican Citizens - Applying for a TN Visa - Required Documentation.

    A Canadian citizen without a TN visa can apply at a U.S. port of entry with all of the following:

        * Request for admission under TN status to Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. immigration officer;

        * Employment Letter - Evidence of professional employment. See Employment Letter below;

        * Proof of professional qualifications, such as transcripts of grades, licenses, certificates, degrees, and/or records of previous employment;

        * Proof of ability to meet applicable license requirements;

        * Proof of Canadian citizenship- Canadian citizens may present a passport, as visas are not required, or they may provide secondary evidence, such as a birth certificate. However, Canadian citizens traveling to the United States from outside the Western Hemisphere are required to present a valid passport at the port-of-entry;

        * Fee of U.S. $50

  4. no   you must apply to live and work in any country
