If state bars and colleges can already recognize canadian law and medical degrees respectively, why can't the US federal gov't do the same if one will eventually be willing to pay taxes? In before homeland security. Call me entitled but a working visa should be easily obtainable if you're a canadian/mexican that's graduated from an accredited US school...otherwise it defeats part of the purpose NAFTA. It should be a straightforward process and not one where it's ymmv depending on the border official. The green card should then be fast-tracked and not take your average 10+ years.
again, may be i'm just spewing what if's that is already the truth. I didn't give this a good in-depth look yet....to everyeone else, sorry for going off-topic.

This isn't true. If you graduate from a Canadian university, you have to redo your residency in the US for doctors, and redo your law exam or articling if you are a lawyer. Yes, the degree is "recognized", but they make you jump through a lot of hoops.
Same holds through for engineers. P.Eng. in Canada does not equal PE in the USA.
