What's the deal. I mean, are you canadian or american? Canadian schooled in the US?

I'm not clearly following this. If you were once american and had those things, contacts, addresses, why not just keep em that way. Or is it that you are canadian but had an american address and so therefore they assumed you american?

If you get a job there, will there be all sorts of paper work, Visas and so on? Will it cost them any more money?

I wish you good luck. Why not look for a job in Canada? I would think if I am a canadian employer and I have 2 equally qualified people, and one is canadian, the other american. I'm going for my brethren. And especially if the other comes with baggage of say a lot of paper work and associated costs.

Dunno dude. Not fully getting this situation.
