Good Luck. You would think that being a "friendly" neighbor would make things easier but that is not the case. I could not find one contractor who wants to go through the "hassle" and cost of a permit. Granted we are put through a four year apprenticeship and need licsences to do electrical in Canada. Not the case here. Almost every contractor was very intested but wanted me to do the "legwork" for the permit.I spent many hours doing research on the internet, to no avail. If by chance you are in the Union you can "travel" to places that have no one on the books but the Unions, at least down this way, are very slow. NAFTA has helped Canadians with workpermits but not the construction trade. If by chance you have a bachelors degree you are half way there. You could then go for a TN Visa. Some electricians have made it through on that Visa but we technically are not on the list. You would apply for that right at the border. Good Luck.
