If you ask me, I could write a book. 

*    The easiest way is to win a Green Card Lottery but you cannot enter if born in Canada.

Find out details of the next lottery which starts at noon October 3, 2007 and ends at noon on Dec 2, 2007 at:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1318.html

Be advised that if you qualify to enter, there is absolutely NO reason to use a service.  You can do it easier yourself and be assured that the documents reached the USCIS because 'you' sent them.

*    The second easiest way is to find an American, marry them, and have them sponsor you.

*    the third is to find a Canadian or American Employer with an office or plant in Canada and work for them in a managerial or supervisory position for a year and have them transfer you to the US on an L1 visa and then sponsor you for a green card.

*    the fourth easiest is to find a US job and get an H1B visa and have the company sponsor you for a green card.

*   The fifth easiest (and fastest to get to live in the US NOW is to find a professional job which qualifies for a TN visa and move to the US, have the company change the visa to an H1 and then  sponsor you for the green card.

*    The sixth is just put in an application and wait about 16 years.

You can find out the different visas available by going to www.centa.com and reading the 'Entering the US' section in the second box down on the right hand side.

 Last but not least, if you have $500,000 to $1,000,000 legally obtained US dollars to invest, you can buy your way in with an E-5 Visa.  this requires a $500,000 investment in areas like Whatcom County on the Washington State / BC  border or $1,000,000 in the larger cities like Seattle LA, Chicago, etc.

The money has to be invested and create 10 permanent well paid jobs for US persons.

If you wanted to do this, I suggest you (and any other interested party) contact David Andersson at (604) 608-0818.  He has an investor plan where you invest your $500,000 US in a Whatcom County project and get an instant US green card.  It is far less risky than starting your own business and  there is a buy out provision down the line.

I will also make the declaration that I believe there is a finder's fee for my recommending  him to you.

There 'is' another E2 investor visa which will let you work in the US but does not allow you to apply for US permanent residency directly.  In the last 25 years, I have only known one person who obtained his US green card while on an E-2 and he had applied (and got in line) for the green card five years before the E-2 Investor visa.  He had the E-2 for nine more years before he came up for the green card through his original application.

It is very unlikely that blind or unexpected email to me will be answered.  I receive anywhere from 100 to 700  unsolicited emails a day and usually answer anywhere from 2 to 20 if they are not from existing clients.  Existing clients are advised to put their 'name and PAYING CUSTOMER' in the subject and get answered first.  I also refuse to be a slave to email and do not look at it every day and have never ever looked at it when i am out of town.  expert  US Canada Canadian American  Mexican Income Tax help
However, I regularly search for the words"PAYING CUSTOMER" and always answer them first if they did not get spammed out. As an example, as I write this on Sept 2, 2007 (the day before I turn 65), since June 16th (78 days), my 'spammed out' box has 24,417 unread messages, my deleted box has 8063 I have actually looked at and deleted and I answerd 576 email questions for clients and strangers.  I have also put aside 472 messages that I am maybe going to try and answer because they look interesting. -expert  US Canada Canadian American  Mexican Income Tax help
Therefore, if an email is not answered in 24 to 36 hours, it is lost in space.  You can try and resend it but if important, you will have to phone to make an appointment.  Gillian Bryan generally accepts appointment requests for me between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM Monday to Friday VANCOUVER (Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles) time at (604) 980-0321. expert  US Canada Canadian American  Mexican Income Tax help.

This is not intended to be definitive but in general I am quoting $800 to $2,800 for a dual country tax return.
 
$800 would be one T4 slip one W2 slip one or two interest slips and you lived in one country only - no self employment or rentals or capital gains - you did not move into or out of the country in this year.
 
$1,000 would be the same with one rental
 
$1,200 would be the same with one business no rental
 
$1,200 would be the minimum with a move in or out of the country. These are complicated because of the back and forth foreign tax credits. - The IRS says a foreign tax credit takes 1 hour and 53 minutes.
 
$1,500 would be the minimum with a rental or two in the country you do not live in or a rental and a business and foreign tax credits  no move in or out

$1,600 would be for two people with income from two countries

$2,800 would be all of the above and you moved in and out of the country.
 
This is just a guideline for US / Canadian returns
 
We will still prepare Canadian only (lives in Canada, no US connection period) with two or three slips and no capital gains, etc. for $150.00 up.
 
With a Rental for $350
 
A Business for $350 - Rental and business likely $450
And an American only (lives in the US with no Canadian income or filing period) with about the same things in the same range with a little bit more if there is a state return.
 
Moving in or out of the country or part year earnings in the US will ALWAYS be $800 and up.
 
TDF 90-22.1 forms are $50 for the first and $25.00 each after that when part of a tax return.
 
8891 forms are generally $50.00 to $100.00 each.
 
18 RRSPs would be $900.00 - (maybe amalgamate a couple)
 
Capital gains *sales)  are likely $50.00 for the first and $20.00 each after that.
 
Just a guideline not etched in stone.
