Last May I wrote to the INS again still I have not received a reply. You might still hear from the INS scheduling you for a new appointment, but to be safe, I'd file a new application. You might get a new appointment faster that way. Q. I am a Canadian citizen, but I live in the United States. You can't work here unless you get a temporary work status or U.S. permanent residence.
Canadian citizens can work here without a visa.
However, they must prove they qualify for INS work status when they enter the United States. They do that by getting a petition approved by the INS or sometimes simply by presenting proof of a professional job offer at a U.S. port of entry.
