Microsoft: Internal transfer from India to Vancouver
Hi folks,
I am planning to move to Canada with my family and I have applied for a Canadian PR (my CRS score is good, so I have a good chance of getting the PR). I want to work at Microsoft Vancouver, and for that, I am planning to move to Microsoft India and try for an internal transfer to the Vancouver office.
The catch is that if everything goes as per usual timelines, my PR should be with me within the next 4-5 months and that would mean I would need to try for an internal transfer within the first 3-4 months of joining Microsoft India.
Folks from Microsoft, do you think it seems feasible to change teams internally from Microsoft India to Canada within the first few months of joining, considering I would be having a PR with me then?
My current details:
Company: Adobe India
TC: 40LPA
YOE: 5.5

What you have to do though is to ‘land’ in Canada so you’re officially in PR status, but you can immediately move back and not have to come back for 3 years.
Canada’s only requirement for maintaining PR status is to live 2 years in a 5 year period.
