You're fortunate to be in control of your environment. My poor opinion of open plan offices is that I am not in control (psychologically safe) making it difficult to concentrate when needed.

Attending conferences and training isn't a problem. But eventually if you follow kspaans advice you'll get turned away at the border and it will be a huge hassle from then forward. For most Canadians it is relatively easy to get a TN status (not a visa but the ability to work in US for a specific employer) with the appropriate documentation.

It will take 6 months before you're covered by a provinces health plan.
