As a Canadian, I'm surprised the author didn't mention a 3rd way - work for a US company on a TN visa that will sponsor you for a green card. This is doable (albeit a little riskier) despite the common conception that it is not.
A few articles/forum posts on the topic for those interested:

- copperx 8y agoThe TN is a non-immigration visa. He was looking for permanent residency.
- ssttoo 8y agoI think the path is TN -> H1B -> GC. At least it was for me. TN is non-immigration status and needs to be renewed every year. A little risky since GC may take a bit of time.
- acchow 8y agoIf you get a 3-year TN, you only need to renew once every 3 years. Which gives you ample time to apply for a green card.
