Frontiere US/Canada: important

[Invité]

J'ai remarque que le sujet concernant l'admission/entree aux US revient souvent dans les discussions du forum. Pour eviter toute confusion, je transmets ici une adresse utile ("US Department of State" "Who from Canada and Mexico, Needs a Nonimmigrant Visa to Enter the United States Temporarily?"):

J'invite les personnes interessees a se rendre aux Etats-Unis du Canada a visiter ce site pour toute information.

SoniaUS, tu peux obtenir un permis de travail sous le traite de NAFTA mais les criteres exigent que tu es sois citoyen candadien. Penses tu qu'on peut avoir les memes avantages avec une carte de resident permanent?

Professionals

The cross-border movement of professionals listed in Appendix 1603.D.1 of the NAFTA (see attached) is facilitated between member countries. Professionals are exempt from the job-validation process normally required of individuals looking to enter a foreign country's labour market.

Most of the professions listed have minimum education requirements of a Bachelors Degree or alternative credentials. The degree held must be relevant to the position sought.

Business persons may enter a member country to engage in activities pursuant to a contract or offer of employment under this category, including performing training functions relating to the profession, and conducting seminars.

General Qualifing Criteria

To qualify as a professional under the NAFTA you must meet the following criteria:

you are a citizen of a member country;

the occupation you are to be engaged in is listed in Appendix 1603.D.1 of the NAFTA (see attached);

you are qualified to work in the occupation in which you are to be engaged;

you have pre-arranged employment or a contractual agreement with an entity located within the country to which you are seeking temporary entry; and

you meet existing immigration requirements for temporary entry.

You will need to provide documentation indicating:

the professional-level activity to be carried out;

your job title;

a detailed summary of your job duties;

start date and anticipated temporary length of stay; and

the arrangement for remuneration.

This documentation can take the form of:

a signed contract between you and an enterprise; or

a letter from your prospective employer(s) confirming that employment has been offered and accepted and providing the details listed above; or

a letter from your present employer confirming that you are entering the member country in order to render professional services pursuant to a signed contract between your employer and an enterprise located within the country to which entry is being sought. (An enterprise can be an individual as well as an entity.)

Proof of your professional level qualifications can be demonstrated by presenting certified copies of your educational or alternative credentials. Proof of citizenship can best be demonstrated by presenting a passport. You will also need to demonstrate to immigration officers that you have no plans to reside indefinitely in the country to which you are seeking entry. Once entrance has been granted, you are only entitled to work or provide services to the enterprise(s) indicated on your employment authorization. Should you wish to work for an additional enterprise, you must contact Immigration officials to obtain an amendment to your original authorization or request a new one. Professionals must also comply with all applicable state, provincial or local certification, registration or licensing requirements before commencing work.

Je pensais que oui, mais je vais verifier. Je te reviens...

La réponse est non. Cela concerne les citoyens canadiens.

Les résidents permanents sont soumis aux conditions de leur pays de nationalité.
