Want to move to Montana!

Re: Want to move to Montana!
Mum will want to visit. I have done a search on the forum but there appear to be few threads recently about this. Her previous ESTA probably expired a couple of years ago. Is the ESTA process the same as about 4 years ago? I forget if she is told immediately if she is approved or if not, how long does ESTA usually take? (The ESTA website doesn't seem to say)
Also I have been searching on the rules for changing my out-of-state license for an MT one. Some say it's a straight swap with an eye test, others say I may have to take the written test, others say written + driving test. ???
An interesting quirk for a position I am thinking of applying for.
It's for a company that has hotels around Glacier NP. But they also have hotels just across the border in Canada.
Would I need a work permit to perform work in Canada for a US company? Do US Citizens also still need a work permit to perform work in Canada?

Someone mentioned NAFTA, in order to get a NAFTA work permit your job has to fit into the listed categories in NAFTA which you can read in 8 CFR 214.6, e.g. hotel manager. You have to provide a job offer letter from the Canadian company to CBSA describing (a) what the work entails; (b) why your qualifications fit NAFTA and the job and (c) the work cannot be for more than 3 years. And you need proof of your qualifications. And you must be a US or Mexican citizen.
Presumably all I need to enter Canada is my UK passport, although if they ask what I'm doing and I don't have a required permit for work, I guess that would be an issue.

Also since the bank holds my vehicle title as I still owe on it, I have to fill out some form to allow the state to enquire about legitimaty/conversion to an MT title. Is that the norm when moving state with a vehicle that has a loan against it? Or is it Montana being finicky. I figured I'd just take in my Ohio registration and they'd switch it over. But apparently not.

It's going to be in the mid 70s (low 20s C) here today, for comparison

Re: Want to move to Montana!
I did. There were plenty of days at 30 or 35 I went out in shorts.
Lowest it got was -25 for a few days, it felt cold but refreshing. I didn't have an issue with it.
Had to get a new battery for the missus' car since the old one didn't like those temps too much. I will be changing the battery in mine before next winter since it will be 3 years old by then.
Supposed to have a full week of temps with highs in the 90s starting maybe Thursday next week. I'd rather have the -25 instead.

I'd say last winter was slightly worse than average. At least imx. Been quite a few worse than that.
Calgary has an average of four days a year with temperatures over 30 C.
