It would be extremely helpful if someone (knowledgeable) answered this.

I mean, it would depend on whether you already have a visa in the country and where you're from originally. American work permits aren't too hard if you've been on an F1 visa in the US, because you have at least a year of OPT so can start on that... the H1B is something completely different though. Also, those are cities and not countries...

How hard is it for a Canadian to work in, say, London vs. New York (I qualify for the TN1 visa)?

Best Response

I realize this is a bit of a late response, but I just got my Visa for the UK (as a Canadian) it was a very simple process. I applied for a 2 year Tier 5 youth mobility scheme Visa. They issue 5500 of these every calendar year, and if you apply early enough in the year (and meet the requirements: part of the commonwealth, under 31 have enough funds), there should be no problem. You can then start work and apply for an extension once duly employed. The government acts as your sponsor.

thanks for this info

Just want to update this as I'm currently looking into this - I believe the Tier 5 youth mobility scheme visa can no longer be extended. You will need to receive a Tier 2 visa, which requires sponsorship (unlike the Tier 5 youth mobility scheme visa, which does not require sponsorship).

If anyone has anything else to add, please chime in.

I actually think NYC and London would be the hardest. If you're doing it all on your own (without family ties or sponsorship from employer), the UK will give priority to EU nationals & you better have a good pedigree & background if you want a visa for the US (unless you go into a low skill job such as construction work or restaurants).
