Need for diploma

[Hadesdude]

So,

I'm thinking of moving to Canada or the USA.
As I'm currently working as a junior java developer with only a high school degree, I'm curious to know if I need a college degree to get a similar job in one of both countries?
I know someone who moved to Toronto and he has a university degree in another matter, so I know already it doesn't have to match, but maybe the (formal) education level?

If you have relevant work experience that will count in your favour.

i think it will depend on the company you find work for. some companies may not care as long as you have experience. i would check around first obviously.

Are you looking for permanent residency, a green card?
