Live in Canada, work in the US.

If you already have an income, I have been told it is a LOT easier to get in and establish permanent residency. In Canada once you cross the border you are considered an immigrant. From what I was told, that status lasts six months. Extensions then have to be filed every six months.

Once you get PR, then you can move anywhere in Canada.
