One YC funded startup is based there, Snipshot.

Just curious, did they need H1B visa (or other paperworks) for the first few months in the states?

SocialPicks is incorporated in Delaware. To attend YC's SFP '07, I applied for a 4-month TN Visa at a port of entry (Vancouver airport) en route to Cambridge. More info can be found at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1274.html

I don't think so. I think you can come for a short time to the US with no problem. It's staying for years that's hard.

We love YC here in Canada.

And hey, starting up in Vancity now may leave you with JUST enough time to exit in order to afford the hockey tickets for the 2010 Winter Olympics ;)...

Crosby is gonna be at his peak at that time, barring any significant injury. Gretzky be damned.
