After being somewhat disappointed in my job search here in Western New
York, I had heard that there are many programming jobs in the Toronto
area.  As an American citizen, I realize that there is a natural bias
towards hiring Canadians, and I suspect I would have to change the status
of my citizenship.  What would I have to do to be able to work in
Ontario?  I've heard about "landed immigrant" status.  Could someone
please explain it in detail to me?  Is it possible to have dual 
citizenship?  I already know that the average salary is greater (than that
of the US), but the buying power is less, because of the exchange rate.

(Finally!  Some questions to get this newsgroup moving.  :-) )

If anyone has any advice or suggestions, please mail or post.  If I
get enough responses, I shall post a summary, for the benefit of those
who are considering the expansion of their job search northward.  Thanks
in advance.
