据我所知，美国的工作签证对持有加拿大枫叶卡的人，和从中国国内的人相比，是一样的难办，所以说，持有枫叶卡的新移民，在美国找工作，没有任何优势。
只有入籍成为加拿大公民后，才可以享受美加协定，只要雇主给你OFFER，很轻易就能办个签证，雇主也很愿意给你，因为这个工作签证不占用配额。
另外，对面的底特律据说目前80%以上是黑人，市区很乱，厂房办公楼废弃不堪。。。
曾经对温莎也非常感兴趣，所以研究过一些，如果有些信息楼主不是很了解，请向当地老移民请教确认后再答复，没有冒犯楼主的意思，只是自己当年也是从家园上获取信息来做一个家庭的决策，每个信息也许就会影响一个家庭一段时间的难易~~
谢谢楼主热心开贴~顶一个！

你说的对面底特律不好一点不假,连美国人都说对面好,安静,黑人少,这是最近从美国回来的朋友讲的, 老板在密植安,城市很小,接待朋友是在底特律. 温莎确实比底特律安静,安全. 底特律太大.
另外找工方面不确定是不是这样,前些年在罗马泥亚学习的时候,正巧碰上个在密治安上班的有加拿大永居权的沙特的一个老弟,跟我一个大公司,分公司不同. 他的护照是绿色,所以后来由于911,原因,这哥们再也没能去那里了,人家不给他发签证. 所以我感觉应该是能找工作,记得他当时跟我说,每天开车往返要好长时间.
所以,希望楼主,费心,在找工方面,给个确切的信息,最好.

几乎每年都会去温莎，但最终也没有决定到这个城市定居。因为温莎的地理位置决定了这个城市难以康复的致命伤。
Windsor ‘the most polluted city in North America’: RFK Jr.
Trevor Wilhelm, The Windsor Star - Sunday, April 27, 2008
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that U.S. companies have made Windsor “the most polluted city in North America,” and he’s taking them to court to answer for the health toll they’ve taken.
RiverKeepers, Kennedy’s environmental watchdog group, is taking Michigan companies, including power company DTE Energy, to court alleging they’re “damaging quality of life and public health here,” he said during a stop in Windsor.
“Mainly, the problem is Windsor is downwind from Detroit,” Kennedy told reporters. “A lot of the industries in Detroit, the air emissions make their way to Windsor. Windsor has some of the highest cancer rates, particularly thyroid cancer rates. Many other respiratory illnesses that are associated with pollution are more prevalent here than any other place in Canada. The air quality is regularly the worst in Canada. Windsor is downwind of a lot of really bad polluters.”
According to data from Canacer Care Ontario, the government-funded agency that provides cancer treatment, Windsor’s overall cancer rates are about the same as the provincial rate, although there are variations depending on the type of cancer. The incidence of lung cancer, for example, is higher here. The reasons for the variations have been the subject of debate among experts, some of whom point to emissions from diesel trucks, pollution from across the river, or pollution from coal-fired power plants in the Ohio valley.
Kennedy, an environmental activist, was in Windsor for the final day of the Rotary World Peace Summit. It brought 1,000 delegates here from around the world.
After an interfaith service with singing and prayers from the world’s major religions, Kennedy gave a speech called Our Environmental Destiny. He talked about the U.S. oil “addiction” that has caused wars and devastated America’s economy, prosperity and international prestige.
He also lamented the practice of using up the world’s resources “for a few years of pollution-based prosperity.”
“Our children are going to pay for our joy ride,” said Kennedy, nephew of the late president, John F. Kennedy. “Environmental injury is deficit spending. It’s a way of loading today’s prosperity on the backs of our children.”
He also talked about Windsor. Afterward, he told reporters his group is charging DTE Energy in Canada under Canada’s Fisheries Act, which states it’s illegal to pollute the waterways and allows citizens to independently prosecute offenders in criminal courts.
“If somebody does pollute and the government fails to enforce, then any citizen can step into the shoes of the Crown attorney and prosecute that polluter themselves,” Kennedy told reporters. “It’s a very powerful statute.”
Riverkeepers alleges the company’s power plants are depositing mercury into the Canadian side of the St. Clair River.
Contacted Sunday night, DTE Energy spokeswoman Lorie Kessler said because her firm is involved in litigation in Canada with Kennedy’s organization, she couldn’t comment on the allegations, but added all of DTE’s operations are in “full compliance” with state and federal emission regulations.
Kessler said she’s “somewhat baffled,” by the allegations. She said her firm is spending $1 billion to reduce emissions of mercury and other pollutants from its plants, including its plants on the water that are closest to Windsor. Also, she said, DTE is “fully supportive” of State of Michigan measures to bring in mercury emission standards.
Kennedy said RiverKeepers has used the statute before in Canada. But this is the first time they’ve used it to charge an American company for pollution that was created in the United States and made its way to Canada. It’s something the government should be doing, he said.
“We would love the government to enforce the law themselves,” he said. “I wish the provincial government was suing Detroit Edison and prosecuting criminally. I wish the provincial government was suing all these corporations in Detroit who are diminishing the quality of life and injuring the health of children and adults here in Windsor.”
Mercury and lead exposure to children can reduce IQ, said Kennedy. He called it “child abuse.”
He said pollution here is also causing cancer.
“That’s assault and battery, and worse, because you can die from it,” Kennedy said. “And what’s the difference if you die from a brain tumour or if you die from a bullet? There’s no difference. This is crime ? it’s real crime and it’s real victims. The province ought to be prosecuting it. We ought to be prosecuting it in Michigan.”
Allan Rock, a former federal justice minister and ambassador to the UN, said fixing pollution in Windsor’s waterways requires individuals becoming more aware of the challenges and what they can do, as well as pressuring governments to act.
He said governments must exercise their authority to reduce and eliminate “the pollution that’s all around us.”
“The third thing it’s going to take is discovering a new way of doing things without the coal burning power plants, without the CO2 emissions from automobiles,” said Rock, honorary chairman of the summit. “Finding ways to use technology to bring greater economy prosperity while producing a cleaner environment.”
