How hard is it to immigrate to Canada from America?

You need a skilled trade that is in demand,or a family member in Canada willing to sponsor you.Or enough money to start a business that will be hiring Canadians http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

Forget college - be a plumber, mason or best of all a plasterer. We have nerdy MBAs and computer programmers coming out our ears and the immigrant ones are driving cabs. We need some people who actually know how to do something useful.

I heard it's really hard to immigrate to pretty much any developed nation from America. (If it wasn't, who wouldn't wanna leave???) BUT I also heard that the easiest developed country to immigrate to is Germany. And from there, since most of Europe is united now like the US, you could easily move somewhere like Great Britain or Ireland. I'm planning on Ireland. Don't know if this is helpful at all, but just lettin ya know.

please check out http://www.cic.gc.ca What are you studying in college? I ask this because a mere college diploma, though helpful, won't guarantee you a successful immigration process. The cost of living in Toronto and Vancouver is very high so choose your study program wisely. If you wind up with a diploma in arts, your chances of getting a job that will pay you enough to live in Toronto and/or Vancouver will be very small.

Well, I live in Toronto and I have been to Vancouver and I can tell you, Toronto is much better than Vancouver. There are more facilities and more services than anywhere else in Canada. Immigrating here is not very difficult. All you have to do, is apply for a Perminant Resident (PR) Card or a student visa and you will able to stay in Canada without any hassle.
