Maybe your friends who work in the States already told you about this... Don't want to sound too negative but the fact is unless you have relatives in US that can help you to immigrate (as family reunion) or there is a company who hired you or your hubby while you are in Canada, it is not as easier as it sounds to "just move to the States". Even if a US company hired you and helped you to deal with all the visa issues (btw you cannot work in the US without the company getting a working visa for you and that's the main reason why Microsoft setup the Vancouver office here because they do not want to deal with all the legal visa issues anymore),  the US Custom can give you a hard time of not letting you go across the border especially if US is going into a recession and there are a more jobless people in the States. (I guess unless the company can and willing to prove that you have the skills/professionals that the company cannot find in US) If you want to move to the States without first getting a job that's even more risks that you have to take. (especially the huge medical insurance cost you have to pay when you don't have a job)

I have a few girlfriends who moved to Seattle because their husbands work there, and they were not able to find job at all. (Mind you all of them are University grads) End up some decided to just have babies and became housewife and the others have to get another diploma/degree before they can find jobs.
