H1B vs Canada PR

Aug 27, 2021 16 Comments

Hello all.

My H1B application got picked in the second lottery and my lawfirm will be filing next week. Meanwhile, I also got a decent score in IELTS to get 475 points totally. I'm just confused whether to even apply now for the express entry into Canada having got 6 more years in the US.

Please leave your comments. Thank you!

TC: 100K
YOE: 3 years
Industry: Logistics & Supply Chain
IELTS: L-8, R-9, W-7, S-8

  • Work in the US and start your I-140 process and get it approved. In parallel apply for Canada PR. Work in the US as much as possible as Canada cannot match US compensation . Once you have Canada PR which I’m thinking will take at least 1.5 years go for stamping / entry to Canada and come back to US.

    • This is the right advice IMO. No need to give up one for the other . Start you PR process right away while initiating your US process too. There’s no risk or downside except for the PR application fees. - which I believe is worth it considering the options it will provide you

    Apply for PR now. The application process is heavily backed up because of corona. Those who submitted their applications a year and a half ago have still not received a response. You just have to stay in Canada 2/5 years to maintain the pr status.

    Accenture is incorrect. Canada can match your US salary very easily. You might even end up getting paid more than BAU area salaries but you just have to choose and apply to the rights companies.

  • Think about why most Canadians are in the US or other parts of the world? Canada either has new immigrants or retirees mostly. Why is that
