About possible to live in Detroit and Work in Windsor

Possible to live in Detroit and Work in Windsor?
Hi there, I am just wondering is it possible to work in Winsor ON with a Working Holiday Program visa and live in Detroit with my husband who will be on an E-3 visa? Are there any implications? What happens getting to work everyday, would there be a hold up at a border crossing? Thanks!

I don't know the technicalities, but I do know it's possible to live here and work there (and vice versa).
Answer 2 :
Yes, there are many people who do this every day in both directions. In fact there is a Tunnel Bus which provides direct transit service between Downtown Detroit and central Windsor for only $2 each way! Good Luck!
Answer 3 :
if you have a passport to go to windsor than yes
Answer 4 :
Yes, it is possible. My mother did it for 20 years. There isn't any trouble at the border, in fact you depending on how often you go over, you might get to know the customs agents, and they tend to be easier on you. Good luck! :)
Answer 5 :
You don't provide enough information for anyone to answer this question completely. Are you a Canadian citizen? If so, then you can work in Windsor. If you're not a Canadian citizen, then you'll need a work visa to work in Windsor. Visa or no visa, I don't know where you're going to work. Unemployment here is near 10%. Crossing the border from Detroit to Windsor there is seldom a backup. Going the other way is unpredictable and frequently jammed. Suggest that you talk to a Canadian immigration lawyer once you get here. Try these folks. They have an immigration division: http://www.armeland.com/ I've never used them, but they advertise heavily around town.
