Hi guys,

I would like to know if any can help me out.
I was debating if I should train here in Canada or US, I know US training is kinda cheaper than here in Canada and there a bit of more jobs down there.
Also how hard is to get a green card to be able to work there.

Marry a nice local girl while you train - not very many other ways to get a green card...

Is it cheaper? If you want to come bcak and work in Canada you'll have to convert your licenses but that's not too big a deal...

I'm not sure about "cheaper"...dollar to dollar, it may be, but it you earn in Canadian $$ and have to pay for your training in US $, not to mention relocate, I don't think it would be cheaper. If you say have family somewhere that could help you out with living costs, say, it would be different.

As far as the immigration issue, unless you already have the right to live/work in the US, it really is incredibly hard to get into the US job market. Not trying to be negative, but it was something I looked at for years and never saw a way to break into. Not saying it's impossible but it takes a long, long time - sometimes even IF you marry a US citizen!

Green card marrage takes about 2-3 months to get the stuff you need to work for an airline.... 2 yrs for the full deal...
