How to break into U.S. firms from Canada?

Besides target schools, how does one get into U.S. Firms

i.e. Visas, plane ticket, industries


I keep hearing of "TN Visas" and how U.S. firms are hiring less people. Given this, is it possible for top finance students in Canada to excel in the states?


note he still got into equity research being Canadian

still can't find the stats on viability of working in finance in the U.S.
