A friend interviewed on site and got the job. He is from Canada, recruiter got back saying they donβt sponsor h1b? B.S or true story?
What!!!!!
Might also depend on the job category.
Big if true!
Before or after they lost 70B capitalization? ;)
If you're not in eng, it's tough to get sponsored.
The biggest surprise is that the recruiter did not check this before interviews
If he is Canadian he can simply get TN
Just to clarify, this was an electrical engineering role and my friend is a Canadian permanent-resident, not citizen yet.
So i assume he doesn't have a US education visa. So no opt. That would explain it.
Correct.
Google has in the past told me they don't sponsor new h1bs unless for existing l1 opt folks. So won't be surprised.
*F1
Fake news. All of it.
