What paperwork does an American need to live and work in Canada?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you are planning to move on a more permanant basis, you'll need:
* A Canadian immigrant visa and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for each family member traveling with you
* A valid passport or other travel document for each family member traveling with you
* Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you
* Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value
You can find the forms you'll need to fill out for your visa here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp
