CanuckAbroad Community

Hello,

Please help with this question. I am considering a 6 month IT contract in the US possibly corp-to-corp (using a Canadian company I could set up?)

I am wondering what my options are in terms of visa/work permit.

I can hopefully become a Canadian citizen in about a year so how will my options be different then?

Thanks,

Axel

So originally they were supposed to be out Q4 2011, then it was "sometime in 2012", now it's Q1 2013.

My submission to them during the consultation was that there should only be ten-year passports, the only reason I can see to keep issuing five-year passports is to keep the union happy. Like it says, it will cost less per year to get a ten-year passport.

Hello,

I'm on H1B in New York with a job in marketing & PR. I'm thinking about looking for new opportunities with another company. But the visa seems to have seriously restricted my options (the cost and the amount of paper work) so I'm exploring TN visa.

The lawyers I spoke with said marketing & PR falls under 'Marketing Consultant', and they think my six years professional marketing & PR experience with an international firm ...
