Typical universtiy degrees and what not will get you no where. Even then, it takes a while to get the permit. A green card is a whole different story. I have a mate who has been there for 5 years as a senior VP and he still doesnt have his green card. If that situation was turned around in Canada he would have his permanent residency card and be set.
Maybe you didnt know that America was so very difficult to get into. They let in the Mexicans to do manual labor like farming and other low paying jobs. But when it comes to educated people trying to get in. Well, you may as well not even try.
I think the Canadian thing will work out it is a lot easy going the way you are going.
You can check out this website. I has loads of info for immigration and work permits for Canada. www.cic.gc.ca
Click on choose Canada to work. It has all the info you will need.
Good luck and enjoy Vancouver. It is one hell of a place to live. Feels like you are in Hong Kong not Canada. You will love it!
