I don't do immigration law but I think you start with a work visa and then move up to a green card.

Edit - After a brief review I would start here: http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/visa_tn.html

It is for just Canada and Mexico under NAFTA. It is good for 6 years

or

for Professional work visa. This is also good for 6 years and if the company sponsors you, you can apply for a green card.

Edit No: 2 - the green card is permanent.

Now I have no idea if you still have to pay Canadian taxes working in the US. That's for a different thread, but you will pay US taxes.

As far as citizenship goes, I think they just changed the test and requirements but I'm not sure.
