Democrats: Support Tax on Unrealized Gains?
I've been a strong proponent of 'Apply greedy logic to US immigration even if your green card is 20+ years away, stay and save, go back to India the day your H1B is denied, Canada is not a good option'... This chart (article in comment) makes me question my own thinking. If you're on one of these indefinitely long green card queues and don't make FANG pay, does it make sense go to Canada?
Plus they have a queen so that’s cool 👸
We do not have a queen. We have a governer general who is the federal viceregal representative of the Canadian monarch, who to your point, is QE2. That said, the Queen has no significance to Canadian politics, and the governal general is more a figurehead than anything else
😂😂😂
Most of the people on Blind are at least at 9th or 10th income decile so the US makes much more sense than Canada. To benefit from moving to Canada, ur income need to be below 6th decile(around 60K according to ur chart)
Most Indians educated in the US don't get green card for 20 years. Canada gives you permanent residence on day 1. So there's got to be some value for that too. It's not a pure economic arithmetic.
For STEM professions(Software engineers,management consultants,Product managers and bankers)it makes no sense to move.Theres a reason Canadian devs are desperate to move to the US.Most Other professions Canada wins hands down or rather America loses to the rest of the world
Why not India?
India is not a first world country. This is not hard.
How did it affect you?
Imho. Canada is an awesome place to retire in. Clean air, ample space, beautiful nature, lots of outdoor activities to do, generally more quiet and peaceful, relatively more even distribution of wealth and income so less visible extremities. But for a young person, it's definitely hard to make a living and save. Cost of living is really high, and unless you're in specific industry that pays well for hours worked, which is somewhat rare in Canada, it's typically easier to work in the US first to save before returning to Canada.
Am in fang will move if gc laws do not change in next 3 years.
Ok with the TC drop?You will also not have anywhere else to work apart from google and amazon
I don't plan to spend the rest of my life writing software. The freedom of permanent residency sounds wonderful given the decade long wait I've already had here.
No. Not worth it. Opportunities are too less compared to US, TC is 🥜 Greedy approach is best. What you can earn in US in a year takes 3 years (being optimistic). So, spending even 10 years in US puts you 20 years ahead in Canada. You can practically retire outside US by doing greedy for 10 years (which is not much!)
Revert to do the needful
No it doesn't make sense because i am not an Indian
