A must read if you plan leaving in the states

Very interesting reading. Should have read it before we left to go on the other side of the border.

Buy it to give you a start, but don't stop there

I bought this book when it came out, having already read and been been unsatisfied with The Border Guide (by Robert Keats). Immigration to the US can be a trying experience, even for Canadians who are culturally and geographically very close to Americans. The resources to be found on the internet are of varying usefulness and reliability, and so a book like this seems ideal. The problem with this book is in trying to tackle such a complex issue, it mostly fails in providing you with all the answers you need for your specific situation. The other problem is that most of the material in this book is subject to change at any moment, and so after a few years unless a new edition is published, you will have to check all your facts. But at least its a start. And I'm glad to have this book. I wish it had been available before I moved to the US.

Excellent Book for Canadians Considering a Move to the US

There are very few books available that provide guidance on the complexities of moving from Canada to the USA. This is the best book that I have read on this topic so far. I found it well organized, informative, and easy to read despite the breadth and complexity of the topic. The personal anecdotes help to give confidence that the Mr. Wruk is authoritative in this field. The only down side is that, even after reading the book, you still need to hire the services of someone like the author in order to make plans specific to your own circumstances.
