Google Canada office

I’m not selected in H-1B lottery and will run out of OPT soon, thinking about moving to Canada. Does Google have a Canada office? Are they hiring engineers? Is interview bar same as US? TC 250K

Yes they have office in Toronto.

You mean Kitchener. Toronto office is not for eng.

So a person with degree and capability to get 250k offer has to leave? And people say immigration system is not broken...

Don’t even start, mate! It’s a known issue.

MS and Bachelors from top CS school in US. Planning on leaving to Canada because of H-1B. Still on OPT. This immigration system is never going to change. How easy is it to move to Amazon Canada? TC: 265k. Currently in Amazon Bay Area.

OP why can’t you transfer to Facebook London or Singapore ?

Facebook babd OP Sep 29, 2019

Singapore isn’t an option, only London or Vancouver, VAN is a remote office. FB will sponsor these moves but I want backup plans, I don’t want to get PIPed when I’m oversea.

Don’t go to Singapore . They’re pretty racist and unapologetic about it. Source: my Indian friends working in Singapore

There are offices in Toronto, Montreal and Waterloo. Waterloo office is super nice.

Facebook babd OP Sep 29, 2019

So only Waterloo/Kitchener is the eng office? That sounds a boring place to live though.

There were engineers in Montreal and Toronto as well, but Waterloo was definitely the biggest. Kitchener did seem like a dead town. Could probably live in Toronto and take the train or something.
