h1B USA gone, Canada an option ?
Need some advice asap
My brother on an H1B has just been laid off, he is over three years on H1B, no real chance of securing sponsorship, and has to decide fast what to do.
Is moving to Canada an option, if he finds a job there, how difficult is it to get all the paperwork done, time frames etc.

Canada is not a contingency plan for people who get laid off in the USA.

Re: h1B USA gone, Canada an option ?
Boy, are you going to get flamed!
Is Canada an option? Well you tell me! It really depends on what your brother wants
from life.
But first thing first: In my opinion, the first thing that your brother needs to do
is to get out of the United States (back to his homeland, possibly) and figure out
the next step from there. Being an illegal alien is never a good idea.
Having said that, now let me tell you about what I think about Canada as an
alternative of USA:
Live in Canada is different from live in the USA. In the big picture it may seems to
be similar but if you look at the detail, it isn't. I understand that many people who
immigrate to Canada, USA, or Australia are like bugs attracted to a light. But do
yourself a favor, please make sure that the light is not a bug zapper hanging on
Bubba's porch. Want another analogy? What about this: Many of the Australian,
American, or Canadian immigrant hopefuls are like a dog chasing a car. When the dog
finally catch the car, it doesn't know what to do with it. (Note to all flamers: I am
NOT calling immigrant hopefuls dogs, O.K.?) So, I strongly suggest that your brother
do his homework before trying to immigrate so that he won't be disappointed.
Canada has a very good standard of living. So if that's what your brother is looking
for, then I suggest that he apply for a permanent residence status. But beware that
jobs aren't easy to come by these days. Without a job, he'll be miserable here.
Remember, the 20 month winter in many populated parts of Canada will make live a
living hell without a proper sheltering and heating. So, again it is my opinion, if
your brother wants to come to Canada, he should find an employment in Canada, get all
the approvals from the government, and apply for a Canadian PR. Ask an immigration
lawyers for the detail!
If he wants to go to Canada so that he can jump back to the good ol' American gravy
train, then I think it is possible. Just don't tell the people in this newsgroup or
they'll call him all kinds of names but the son of God (or Allah, or Brahma, or Sang
Hyang Widhi, or David Koresh)
As for timeline, you can expect about a year or so, am I right, experts? "AlanDee"

If he obtains a job offer from a Canadian employer, an employment authorization
could be processed within 6 weeks, depending on the requirement for validation.
Additional information on this topic may be found at Campbell, Cohen's web site at
the following URL:

The duration of a permanent resident application is considerably longer, and also
varies depending on the visa office at which the case is processed.Additional

LAWYERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED
THIS IS A BIG PROOF THAT LAWYERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. Everyone who read the
original posting made it clear that this country is not for sale except for those
lawyers who want to SELL SELL SELL their services at any cost regardless of what is
good for the country and what is not. This individual who is trying to run away from
the USA because he/she lost his/her H1B visa is only here until a better opportunity
comes along and leaves Canada. This means that this person might take someone else's
opportunity to come here as a genuine immigrant. It is very sad to these theses
lawyers acting the way they do here on this NG.

Re: h1B USA gone, Canada an option ?
Who said it is not? Sounds like a good plan - cannot get a PR/Job in USA try Canadian
and then go pick whatever country you find more attractive to work in. GOVERNMENT
should serve PEOPLE not people government. Screw all people who think patriotic. You
have to make discent living for your family and one has to go whereever he can make
more money. All this arguments about "abuse of canadian immigration system" is just
as that, bullshit.
Sympatico, tell me how are you going to be impacted personally if I get Canadian PR
and go back to USA to work for another couple years? I think you should benefit from
that - you have one less competitor for a job position which is considering the
current job market is very good for you. If you can answer honestlt my question you
will see that you statment "Canada is not a contingency plan for people who get laid
off in the USA" is not worth the time you spent posting it.

Re: h1B USA gone, Canada an option ?
Since you are posting from Tulsa, OK - USA let me give you my honest answer. I have a
good secure job and I do not have a problem with people coming to Canada to work
(i.e., work permit) BUT I have a major problem with people who come here (i.e.,
immigrate) for the wrong reasons and taking someone else's chance to come here to
build and establish a permanent life for the right reasons. If you want to come here
to work then WELCOME to CANADA and if you want to immigrate to Canada for the purpose
of immigration then you are also WELCOME to CANADA. For other reasons (i.e.,
contingency plan) then you are NOT WELCOME. I also blame the system more than I blame
you because the Canadian immigration system should filter more people who are trying
to take advantage of the it on the expense of others.

Re: h1B USA gone, Canada an option ?
You made your point Sympatico and I would like to give you my support by giving an
answer (one of many possible) to the question asked by Sergei - "are you going to be
impacted personally...?"
Let's see - Buffalo's processing times were in the range of 6 to 10 months for many
years until the huge number of additional H1 visas was authorized for certain IT
positions few years back. From that moment and especially after layoffs in IT sector
in US started Buffalo has been flooded by those seeking a "contingency plan". Now
posted processing time in Buffalo is up to 36+ months.
So, if anyone thinks that "contingency plan" seekers are not affecting anyone then
s/he is simply wrong. People who applied for Canadian immigration visa with an
exclusive intention to live in Canada are paying a processing time price for those
who need or want a "backup".
I am not saying that looking for a backup option is bad - it is not and everyone in
the right state of mind and with opportunity to have one should think about it, but
it affects others terribly and making statements like "Screw all people who think
patriotic" will not bring you many friends here Sergei, regardless that the discussed
issue has nothing to do with patriotism.
