Canadian tech employers want the immigration ministry to extend the program launched last month — and it’s just common sense it should, David Olive writes.
How Canada poached 10,000 tech workers from the U.S. — in just 48 hours::Canadian tech employers want the immigration ministry to extend the program launched last month — and it’s just common sense it should, David Olive writes.
The move to Canada is such an easy one as an American.
If you are sick of some of the shit happening down here and don’t want to learn a new language, aren’t interested in culture-shock, and overall want to be surrounded by friendlier folks, then Canada is pure win. I’d be more willing to move to Canada than move to most other states in the union.
From a cultural perspective, sure. But it’s not as easy from a logistical perspective. I looked into it when it looked as though the former president might install himself as dictator for life, and there are quite a few complex hoops to jump through.
Oh absolutely. I mean I am sure it is easier to move there than most other countries, but yeah you aren’t just driving up theere with your stuff in tow and think you can just settle down.
I checked when Trump won the first election and I am a few points short of being able to emigrate without getting a company to sponsor me. Only way I can do it is:
Get a Masters or a Doctorate in a desired field
Marry a citizen
Find a company that can’t find a local to do the job and have them sponsor your move
My current company would be fine with me working in Canada I just can’t do it legally yet.
