Nice handle .......any hoop.....I updated my address 2 weeks back online, but still it shows my old US address. I am thinking of calling their PR Card help desk.
Unfortunately there are very less. I am still negotiating with the company to allow me to work from Calgary as they have some remote work arrangement but most of the HQs lie in Toronto.

Mods, Are you in Calgary? Can you tell me which financial firms are there in the region? Like you I am also into finance IT.
Did you guys get your job in Alberta province or some place else? As far as I know the financial hub of Canada is Toronto.
Thanks

I second VA2CA. I am in IT and have been working in Financial Industry for like 10 years. I did the same thing and got three offers so far and just in the process of choosing one. I felt Canadians do welcome US experience and they dont discriminate you as long as you are fit for this position.
Everything else is pure rumours. If you are confident and your skillset / exp matches with the requirement you are there. One thing to keep in mind you may not get the same salary as you would be getting in areas like NY etc but that is something we all were aware of long time back.
Any body moving their stuff to Calgary from New York City area, please contact me. We can share a relocube which holds a lot of stuff or I can share your space and pay for it.
That's true I got an offer from an IT Company working for Canada Rail it was not in Finance. I also got one from a company HQed in Toronto which is in Finance and I am working out some details with them to see if I can work from their Calgary branch

Does anyone know if I have to go through import and export car process in border? I plan to complete landing, stay for a few days in Alberta, then come back to US.
