Canadian undergrad to US IB

I strongly wish to break into US IB, however, I’m entirely a Canadian citizen with no legal relations to the US.

Currently, I’m approaching my last days of high school and was recently accepted to Ivey. (Going to a US school is not an option for me)

Primary incentives are for the better pay, weather (weird one ik), and larger market which offers more opportunity.

Any advice on making this possible would be deeply appreciated.

Not necessarily, most answers comprise of visa inquiries with not much relevance towards first year initiatives. I’m just looking for tangible advice which I could pursue during my first years to better my chances for US IB. Any advice on your part would be appreciated tho.
