Worth joining a CPT college, learning a new skill and get in to H1B in a year or 2. I have friends who did both and the only people regret are the ones who went to Canada when their H1B didnโt pick up. My 2 cents.
Sorry to hear, OP. Small set backs are part of life.
Microsoft will relocate you to Canada and get you a temp visa (not sure what letter visa) to periodically visit Redmond until they finally get you a H1 and relocate you back state side.
DM me. I have done some research into this. As far as I can tell you need to have a few months to a year atleast on your OPT if you're planning on switching. If you do, Amazon, Microsoft, Shopify, etc support transfers to Canada. There are other options too.

You make valid points, but isnโt CPT risky?
Going to India is not really an option for me unfortunately

People out here filing multiple registrations while the legitimate ones have to go through all this. Oh well.
Will check for roles in MS, thanks!
Do you mind messaging me?
Mine was picked up last year, if not I would have gone that route.
