Arif Sarker said:U can move to USA for working purpose after getting citizenship of canada. PR could not allow you to work in USA except H1 visa.

vigneshj said:ok got it.i got the below statement as well.
It is possible to work in the US after you become a Canadian citizen. Citizenship is obtained after being a permanent resident for a minimum of 3 years. Once you become a Canadian citizen, you can work anywhere in North America legally under the NAFTA agreement.
OK, a little closer. But NAFTA visas are for specific job categories, which change according to need. It's true that if you have the credentials for a NAFTA category, and a job offer on the other side of the US-Canadian border, you can take your credentials and job offer letter to the border and get the work visa right there. But you need both those things! Even then TN-1 visas are temporary residence visas, limited to 3 years.alok4best said:errrm... that is not totally correct.
To become a citizen from PR status, you need to satisfy these on the date of application:
Spent min 1460 days in Canada in over the last 6 years.
Spent at least 183 days each in 4 recent consecutive years, and filed IT returns.
Also, even after you get a Canadian passport, you cant just walk in US and get a job.
You still need a work VISA for US. I guess its TN1 VISA.

If you want to live in the US, find a way to get there directly - Canada is not a good route!
