Currently am working as a TPM in Microsoft. I reached out to Google recruiters requesting to process my profile for Google Canada. Seems the recruiter mentioned visa sponsorship is an issue and they are not supporting visa sponsorship instead are looking for folks who already have work authorization in Canada.

Is this true? Doesn’t Google sponsor visa for Canada?

    Canada's immigration system sucks. They have 1.8 million backlogged application in a country of 35 million residents. Heavily understaffed and things move super slow. If you ever thought US was bad, Canada makes them look like a super star.

      Huge backlog for every visa. If your wife is in another country and if she wants to be in Canada then the wait time is 1 year. Everyone are frustrated here because of huge wait times. Plan the consequences ahead. It’s not as easy as it looks from outside.

      Canada is a shithole, I'd avoid it and try something else.

  • Probably it’s because of the processing times for LMIA work permits in Canada. They are taking 3-5 months for the visa to be processed. We are in a messed up situation.

    • Can’t comment anything about the europe recruiters but can confidently say the response times have sky rocketed and everyone inside are finding really hard to settle. It’s a big mess and govt is not bothered much.

    You might have better luck looking for Google opportunities wherever you are, and then later requesting a location transfer. I’ve seen that work a few times.

    I thought work visa processing time is just 8 to 12 weeks
