Trump Haters are Quiet
Hey everyone, I am at a tough spot here! Recently got married and came to Canada for Amazon. I am filing my spousal application nowadays, but the timelines are closer to a year. My wife is a backend engineer, I was thinking maybe she can interview and some company might sponsor her instead? This way we might be able to expedite the process. She has an offer from #microsoft US, but her h1b visa has been applied thrice already (Couldn't clear the lottery). Microsoft is applying for the 4th time this year but not sponsoring for Canada. I will get her interviewed at Amazon soon, but knowing this is the only option might stress her out, affecting her interviews. So, looking for more options to interview at least. Any ideas about who is sponsoring for Canada nowadays? The work permit application is just 3-4 months, I am not sure why companies are soo reluctant to sponsor here! TC: 255k CAD YOE: 5.5 Originally from Pakistan! #canada #tech #doordash #google #shopify #uber #lyft #sap
Pinterest is currently hiring for BE’s in Toronto right now, definitely would recommend having her apply there! (Signal Delivery role)
Oh sweet! I will check that out! Thanks!!
Pakistani. H1b has a lottery system. I think they give priority to people who studied in the US. (Updated in the post too!) So, it's more like her application wasn't selected each time. What's strange to me is that Microsoft is willing to apply for h1b yet another time, but not willing to sponsor to Canada. But this happened recently as 2 years back, they were offering her a position in Vancouver. But we weren't married then, I think Covid messed things up.
Doesn't the spouse get open work permit in Canada?
If wife does not get H1B in 4th attempt, does MSFT have other plans for her?
Coursera, Amazon, Meta
Nicee! Thanks a bunch!
