If you are new to the US, whether you have moved here because of work, marriage or school, you will find the following sites and addresses useful. This page is intended for Canadians residing in the United States and who have proper permission from Immigration and Naturalization Services to reside and/or work within the US. The information on these pages is not intended for those who have not yet entered the US or who are here without proper permission. Those individuals should first speak to American immigration officials and experienced immigration lawyers.
