Hoping to move to Canada 1000+ mundane questions

10 years ago

I am finishing my MLS degree in a few months and want to work abroad in Canada for a few years or maybe forever. I'm hoping the proviso for librarians in NAFTA will help speed the process along, if I can land a job offer. I'm open to any city or town, even in the North Country.

So here are my incredibly asinine questions:

Do all apts require references? If so, from whom??

How does one get a driver's license? Can I get one without knowing how to parallel park?

How does one move funds from the US to Canada? I don't have much, but I'm not sure BoA does business in Canada.

Not to sound like a miserly a-hole here, but will I be paying taxes on the same money in two countries? How expensive is tax help in Canada?

Is getting immigration help worth it? I'm a decent researcher, but I don't want to accidentally get deported.

Does anyone know a good way to find/get a library job in Canada? I'm looking at the job boards and see some really fantastic sounding positions, including a couple that...wow...sound like so much fun. I just wish I knew if libraries in Canada really hire Americans...

Thanks for any answers,
