If you(Canadian) hope to work in the U.S. then the type of visa status you need will depend on what type of work you will be doing. Some jobs fall under the NAFTA Agreement. Other jobs require a different status: Business Travel to the U.S.

Either way, most Canadians do not actually need to get a visa in their passports. Most Canadians can just show up at the Port of Entry (either at the border or an airport) with all of their required documents and are handled directly by the Officers of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) - exceptions are noted on the two pages linked above.

These Canadian citizens traveling to the U.S. require non-immigrant visas:
treaty traders (E)
fiancÃ©/es (K-1)
and the children of the foreign citizen fiancÃ©(e) (K-2)
a U.S. citizen's foreign citizen spouse traveling to reside in the U.S. while awaiting final completion of the process of immigration (K-3)
and the children of a foreign citizen spouse (K-4)
spouses of lawful permanent residents (V-1)
and the children of those spouses (V-2) traveling to reside in the U.S. while awaiting final completion of the process of immigration

She will need a work visa, they aren't easy to get. My brother's wife is Canadian and can't get one and he can't get one to work in Canada so they live across the border from each other.

It will be easier if her company transfers her to the USA or if she has a needed skill. Americans and Canadians want the work to go to citizens before bringing in people from other countries to fill jobs.
