Start by asking your colleagues and friends in the States. Do they know anyone living or working in Canada? Do their U.S.-based companies have Canadian affiliates?

のようなサイト LinkedInの, Facebookに登録, と Plaxoの can also be sources of connections. たまに, all it takes is one contact who can connect you with someone else, and your networking process is underway.
