    If you use express entry, it should be 3 years to citizenship. Don’t forget to apply for a TN after that.

    After getting TN visa, can anyone work in US for indefinite amount of time without hassle of renewing your visa every now and then ?

      I heard people saying that TN Visa is unreliable and even candian people prefer H1B over TN.

      TN visa is not guaranteed, though the approval rate is still quite high. It’s also not dual intent, meaning that if you start the GC process you won’t be able to re-enter the US on TN status if you leave. That is why people say that H1-B is preferable. However there is the lottery and timing issue with H1-B.

    I’m currently in SF and am a native of Vancouver. Eventually interested in relocating back to Vancouver because I think the city is one of the best IMO. Do you mind me asking if the pay differs a lot compared to US for engineering position ?

    Not sure if PR thru work visa is a new process altogether but a regular self sponsor pr will take about a year or so, depending on how quick you are. I think there's a forum Canada visa .com you'll get every detail you need over there.
