Diva Cupcake posted:canadia. needs a work visa or a preexisting job offer from us firm. yeah since computer touching is a skilled profession under nafta I can easily get a visa. She wouldn't be able to do the same, the only way would be for a US company to sponsor her which is hard since her skills are like office admin stuff. Even if we were married that wouldn't really change anything. in fact, since we're not married, even getting her into the country as a non-working dependent could be tricky, although that's trivial if we are married

Honestly H1b is such a complete poo poo show that it's almost not worth hedging your bets on, even if you are a technical worker. Canada was cool, you can get PR without even stepping foot in the country. You can even get citizenship after 3 years, so I think that means NAFTA becomes available?

Yup lol pretty much the only reason any american company would set up in Canada would be to take advantage of easy immigration and simultaneously pay less.
