I want to move to Canada and move my parents there as well permanently. I’m Indian and working on H1B visa so I hope you aready understand my reasons. I’m thinking of taking a new job offer and negotiating a higher rsu. Then relocating to their Canada office in a year or so. My question is: Will an internal move now to Microsoft Vancouver go via the Express Entry program or regular visa? I need to get PR ASAP. So is that something that I can express directly to Microsoft Immigration team that’ll be dealing with my transfer. What’s the process for Amazon or Google? Thanks a lot for your help. I understand about the pay cut. But I’ve come to this decision after several weeks of thinking about what I care about most in my life. My TC is ~200K at L62.
As far as I know you can get the Canadian PR on your own without even telling your employer. I would suggest getting that first and then talk to employer about the move.

Amazon Vancouver (particularly AWS) is growing very aggressively in Vancouver. If you are a developer, and good at your job, trying moving to Amazon. Drop me a message if you need some details.
You can move on a work permit and then apply through Express Entry. MSFT shall help through that.
You can move on work permit upon arrival and figure out the rest when in Canada
Get an offer from Canada (MSFT is fine). You'll get a lot of points for PR. Even if you don't have the internal offer, or any offer, for chance of getting PR.
Hey OP! Let me know if you need any help with the application. I applied on my own and got it.

Do yourself a favor. Hire a Canadian immigration lawyer. Seriously, you don't want your process to take longer or fall apart because you were too cheap to spare a few hundred dollars.
Good luck
That’s a good idea. But my question here is about what the internal Immigration teams at these companies generally do. If I decide to apply directly then I’ll definitely get a lawyer.
