Wanted to know if Amazon applies for PR in Canada when internally transferred to Canada from US as SDE on H1B? What do you think of the decision based on the following criteria? - work culture - salary - cost of living - insurance and medical expenses - happiness :)

I’m Sooo Happy about Biden signing TikTok ban bill today!!
Why do you need amazon sponsorship? Can’t you just go with experienced class (skilled worker)?
I understand but as part of process to immigrate to Canada don't we need a visa? So one way is Amazon applies for work visa and then we apply for PR? Is that what you are implying?
Visa has to be sponsored, although you could directly apply for PR. Are you in rush? If not, it will take about a year to get PR.
Can we apply for Canadian PR being in US(on H1b)? Any criteria to follow or just its open to anyone to apply?
A basic Google search before asking questions of this sort would be beneficial for you.
Had a friend who did this. Work culture was a bit better (but work culture is more dependent on your team that country, for the most part), salary took a fairly substantial hit, cost of living was about the same (dependent on what city you’re leaving/arriving at), insurance/medical is cheaper, but lower quality (ie wait times, etc), and he hasn’t spoken on happiness (he’s still there, so I assume he’s happy).
Ah finally! Thanks for replying. Can you shed light on the salary part like how much it tanked?
He wouldn’t give me exacts, but basically he said his salary did not change despite the fairly significant currency conversion, meaning he took a good sized hit
You do not need an employer’s sponsorship to apply for a Canadian PR.

So I have to apply for PR before immigrating to Canada? Or is it something I apply after going to Canada provided Amazon gives me a work visa to get in?
