Q: We have a friend who would like to move here from Canada. What does she need to do to move here and find a job?
She is 20. She has visited us twice. She may move here permanently. She would like to be gainfully employed while here.
A: She can try to get any of a number of nonimmigrant employment visas, including the TN. Her first step is to establish a relationship with an employer who would like to hire her.
A:
Pretty simple--get hired by a company willing to get her in under an H1 or similar. Suggest best bet is work with a company up there who has offices or even an HQ down here. However if she doesn't have skills sufficient to show there are no US citizens meeting her qualifications that may be difficult.
However, at 20 she may not have a degree yet, so I don't think it will be that easy. She is more likely to be able to come in as a temporary worker, think summer help, but that also means she's expected to leave promptly.
