33. I am a Canadian PR. Can I work in the US? What about NAFTA?
The provisions of the NAFTA agreement are applicable to Canadian Citizens
only, thus
being a Canadian Permanent Resident does not by default make you eligible
to work in
the US. Under certain circumstances, Canadian PRs can get an L-1
(intra-company
transferee) visa but please check with the relevant immigration authorities
in BOTH
countries about the specifics, especially about retaining your residency in
Canada.
There is a Canada-to-US immigration site that has information about all
types of visas
Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents can get to the US under the NAFTA
at the URL:

Additionally, you can consult the part 4 of the US Immigration FAQ about US
visas for
Canadian Citizens at the URL:
