I am going to head to the US this year. Ended up setting up my own company and getting a visa based on the fact I'd be an employee of it. Took a while, only because I needed references from most of my clients. I used a immigration law firm (ASK Law Group in Los Angeles) to do the paperwork and cost me about $4k (ish).

There's also that thing called "Canadian Experience", which they'll apply to everybody and the "networking" thing here is huge meaning that people generally get employed 'cos they used to work with the VP's wife a few years back, etc., etc.
Still if you like snow and sub-zero temperatures for 6 months of the year...

Not only that, but some individuals can be very quick to blame foreigners for their ills, with the resulting uncomfortable experiences. It's all very sad.
Even the English accent doesn't work as well anymore
Lots and lots of very unhappy people there (not that here is any different of course - but then we are British, we are supposed to be miserable).

work visa
Your American employer will have to sponsor a work visa. I think you would have to be on your agency's payroll and they'd have to get you a visa which costs money and takes a while. Most 'contractors' here are agency temps.
Your British ltd company can't get you a work visa. Sorry but it may be difficult. The rates here are generally rubbish anyway.
