I'm a Canadian citizen living in Canada. I've got no current ties to the US; the only exception being I am licensed in a few US states (in addition to an Ontario license).
As I get more experience I see the appeal in trying to go out on my own. However, based on my experience, I don't think it would make financial sense if I limited myself to the Canadian market. I am just wondering if anyone has any "high level" guidance as to what would be involved in opening a Canadian firm and providing engineering services in the US.
I would focus on working with contractors to do small-scale delegated design items...not looking at designing major stuff (if that matters). I'm really just looking for a place to start - if I pursued anything I would definitely seek professional help for this.
