I will soon be getting my Canadian PR, which means in 3 years I'll be eligible for citizenship and TN Visa(to work US). The issue about Toronto is the salaries are peanuts and expenses/taxes are like living in HCOL Thing with H1B is that you are always on the fence. I even wanted to have my own startup but with all the uncertainty of H1B, it is impossible. Would like to get your view. Or if there is a way. Tc: 220 cad 🥲 Yoe: 11
These questions come up everyday. You need to understand what is priority for you. Also probably should not call h1b workers slavery given people go to desperate measures to get it
I don't mean to demean any individual - but looking at my h1b friends I ll call whatever the truth is .. us slavery .. They are stuck in the financial loop of student loan.
Still..it’s not slavery. It’s just your over the top interpretation of it out of your frustration
If your tc is 220k , then you’ve got nothing to worry about! Why not stay in GTA? Cost in downtown Toronto is insane!! and If I were you, I would’ve opted for Canadian citizenship first and then moved to US.
Yeah. That is the plan. But the rentals and other costs are damn too high. Leaves no savings . So that Yet again brings me to the original question - why even move to the west when i was easily making 150cad in india (95 L) where I can save 40% with all the support from family and my own turf.
No point in moving to the west for people capable of securing 95L TC in India
Visa holders are not slaves. You chose to move to the US knowing the rules and, in this economy, you have a job when many citizens and permanent residents do not. Good for the OP, who chose the visa that worked best for him.
Every other company has taken Elons route is enslaving and paying peanuts for burning midnight oil
What Elon did was duly noted by the crowd. You continue doing that, people have ways to hit back. I know a few 40+ years old who keep interviewing and switching, without doing any work
🇨🇦 citizenship any day! Its a small cost to pay for the mental peace if you are from 🇮🇳 or 🇨🇳
poll? but i vote for citizenship 💯
Added.
If you are getting selected in the H1B lottery, take it, move to the US for a month. That's activates your H1B and the 6 years that come with it for life. Then go back to Canada, get your citizenship. You now have both options open
Indian citizenship
Canadian citizenshipn is also slavery
