Subject: Crossing U.S.-Canada Border for Work (Commute) |

I will be starting a new job in Detroit this summer and have been looking for housing. I have had a couple of people suggest that, if I were willing to deal with a slightly longer commute time (facilitated by NEXUS) and dealing with dual tax tangles, I may consider it worthwhile to seek housing in Windsor, Ontario.
My question is this: What is involved in taking up residency across the border--i.e., what must I do to ensure that I am making a legal migration, etc.? I know absolutely nothing about this so even some vague information would be of use to me at this point.
Thanks.

(in reply to: Crossing U.S.-Canada Border for Work (Commute)) There are many folks like you are doing this; staying in Windsor and daily commuting to Detriot for work. It is 100% legal. Beauty is, you can keep your PR status (assuming you are not an American and a Canadian PR), also can count the days to be eligible for Canadian citizenship.
I don´t know why the commuting time issue come, Detriot downtown is just about 15/20 mins from Windsor downton I believe.
You can drive across the border everyday. If you aren´t visa exemptin the US then need to have work visa on your passport.
Nothing much you have to do, again if you are
