I didn't mean it like that. Some practices aren't in demand in the U.S. Like entertainment...lawyers in general due to cost and the rise is use of pralegals and what have you.

   

Maine, Ct, Georgia, Fl, Upstate NY and NYC (I'm currently upstate), Montana, Vriginia, North Carolina, Ky, PA, OH, MA, sorry typing the names is terrible

   

Like if you die you still look like you 100 years later kinda of cold cold. I live in Buffalo, New York for now.

   

You might want to ask your question about transferablity of your law degree to Canada at a place with more to offer than this forum. Like the bar association in the province you plan to move to. My guess is you'll have to jump a few hurdles but it's not insurmountable.

Also consider that our immigration system has a huge backlog - people can wait in the queue for years. The system if moving toward allowing provinces and companies to sponsor people for specific jobs. My guess would be that we have plenty of lawyers and you wouldn't be high on the list. But I guess if your sweetie is still a Canadian, that won't be a problem, also him sponsoring you will still take some time.

   

lmao I stare at people who wear them. I visited Texas and I was just horrified. every American stereotype exists in Texas except the Yankee thing. I dunno where that came from.
WE were looking at British Columbia, mostly because I don't want to live in Montreal. It's nothing against them, I've just been on the east coast too long. If I could afford it I'd tour all of Canada.

   

I've lived in Northern Illinois (Lakeside), Nashville and Memphis, TN, and Annapolis MD and been about plenty of other places (East of the Mississippi) and I would say that if you've lived in Upstate NY and Maine you have a decent idea of the climate and landscapes of (my part of) Canada. The rest depends on the size of town, city and the demographics I guess.

Military family?

   

Meh I just figured if someone knew it wouldn't hurt to ask. He hasn't lived in Canada since he was 5 so is he still Canadian?

   

I have nothing against the American stereotype, especially in Texas. It's their state and their prerogative to live as they choose. In a state larger than many countries, they have their own identity and need not apologise to outsiders.

   

Nah no military, just doctors and nurses.

   

Meh, to each is own I suppose I found them to be a bit belligerent and intolerant of anything new. Apparently they want to be their own country. That would be...interesting to say the least

   

If he did not denounce his Canadian Citizenship, he should still be Canadian.

re: Texas
Well, they were their own country at one point... Patriotism like that dies hard. Even though they are Americans, they are Texans first. I see most states as having that type of system. After all, 50 united states, each with their own government and laws... Just as I am Nova Scotian when I speak to other Canadians, and am Canadian when speaking to foreigners...

Many folks are firm believers of, if it ain't broke don't fix it... They see nothing wrong with how they live in TX, so why bother bringing in the new... not everyone needs to be a progressive

   

Oh okay we'll look into on the 'morrow since we might have to make some calls. Thank you ^^

   

If he was born here and has not renounced his citizenship, yes he is. Like Andy says, you'll need to look into the transferability of business law. The basics will be mostly the same (unless you move to Quebec), but you might have more bar exams to qualify.

   

Quebec has it's own rules and regs for immigration.
