If one decided to move to Canada how does one go about doing that and how does one find a job there?
In the US you need a Visa of some sort, how does that work for immigrating to Canada?

Looking at Canada eh Xue?
Still NZ for us.
We did consider Canada, but have heard horror stories for Brits trying to get over and it taking years to go through the process. It's likely different going from the US than from the UK though? Dunno.

When my instructor was in the army, he spent six months on secondment to the NZ spec forces, he said he had a ball in New Zealand, totally loved the place.
Take the self-test to see if you would have enough points to be granted permanent residency!
I scored 71 if I answered the questions correctly (some were a little weird regarding education).
Cutting score is 67. Whoo-hoo! I can invade Canada!

Well it is #10 in the top 12 happiest countries of the world afterall.... that and I just can't picture myself living in Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Bahamas, Finland, Sweden, Bhutan or Brunei
I'd enjoy the Bahamas, but my bank account is about a million or 2 short to qualify.

You should try NZ mate, like Tez says, the place is fantastic. My folks have lived there for 7 years. This is it: (Hope I don't contravene site rules by sticking their site on here, if it is, mods feel free to remove and I apologise in advance). http://www.awenlodge.co.nz/
I'm on the bottom of one of the pages on the left hand side. It's not a very good pic.... (Might I point out that I'm not the one with the long neck before anyone asks!
)Tez, you gotta get out there mate.

Something to think about but right now I am really just curious as to how one gets to be a Canadian if you are not born one. Besides the seasons are all backwards in NZ

They are indeed, but it makes life more interesting. So when your mates in the US are having the deepest darkest winter on record, you'll be baking it up in 100 degree heat, down the beach, or at the open air volcanic springs. "Chuck another tinny on the barbie" I believe is the watchword of the day.
Besides, move to Canada, and you'll end up talking funny. Saying "ootside", or "where's Xue?, Dunno, he's aboot somewhere". And that just wouldn't do.
You forgot the legal requirement to add "Eh" to every sentence.

I'm ok with all this....well not so much the adding "Eh" after everything but........hey wait a minute....would this mean I would have to start wearing a Tuque.... Cause if it does... the deals OFF!!!
Also, remember that a BlackBelt in Canada is only = a US Brown belt due to the exchange rank.

Precisely! Noo doot aboot it! Wasn't that a beer advert there ages ago? Molson Canadian? Some American dude taking the proverbial out of a Canadian guys accent, only to have his jumper pulled over his head "hockey stylee" and beaten to a crisp? I AM CANADIAN!
Kiwi accents are quite cool. Or in Kiwi "Koi-woi iccents are quit kul".
