Don't they have an immigration attorney to advise? If i were you, would exit US few months before H1B expiry (making your intent clear despite an approved I-140) would delay B1/B2 as much as possible establish strong ties in Canada (may be long term lease, big ticket loans etc) get...

I got the same question if i was still employed by same firm and if i have any relatives in US. My only guess, the employment question could be related to previosuly filed and approved I-140.

If you have a job in Canada, why exactly do you need a B1? No matter what, each and every case will be different. You could only evaluate risks and trade offs. Spouse and relatives in US, potential quick request for B1/B2, approved I-140, no strong tie in Canada could work against you.

Yes and i can only imagine all those EB3s between 2010 - 2014 upgrading their priority dates with enough experience causing more uncertainty for EB2s between 2010-2012. At the least, USCIS should make all these data public for folks to evaluate for themselves.

I'm not talking about the system, for or against. Just pointing out statements like these (out of frustration) without backing facts should be avoided "USCIS is still punishing Indians for that by moving dates even slower than what it normally takes"

Well, dependents does reduce the number of available GCs and that can explain why priority dates would move slower and agree 7% country cap doesn't help either. But what is the source for deliberate action by USCIS to move dates slower for Indians? "USCIS is still punishing Indians for that by...

Could it also be possible that folks started to add dependents (spouse, foreign born kids) while waiting in line, upgrading priority dates (EB3 -> EB2, EB2 -> EB1)?

There was some terms and conditions under which Geico is useless after moving to Canada. If i remember it right, it was residing address or something like that. Either call them or have someone with Geico in US ask a hypothetical.

Do you mind pointing a source in terms of timeline as to when it is considered fine to move etc?

Have you considered applying directly only for the Province B's PNP?

I had nothing for 'intent to live' and just explained my case as is. It didn't seem to affect the application evaluation. They did went back and forth to verify my last job (active at that time) in US. However things could have changed, given how some folks had abused PNP by accepting...

Each case could be different, to get an idea use this, https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application

Not sure about other provinces but in Ontario, address update is needed for Driver license and OHIP. (within 30 days of the move or something like that).

Good question, have you ever considered, lets say, not being seated during flight take off or landing?

Yeah seriously, If it is so badly needed, they should just create a quarantine zone within the airport for folks wanting to catch the next outgoing flight.

What laws are you guys referring to for accepting nomination from one province and moving to other immediately or when not able to secure employment?

Follow the rules, don't jeopardize other's health just for your non-critical needs.

Yes like i said YMMV. FWIW, as much as folks are out visa options, so are employers unable to hire/file/transfer H1 petitions (relative to glory days). They are all hoping for a change this coming election and if so, it will be business as usual for them. They wouldn't care if backlogged...

YMMV depending on if one ends up working for same team and reporting to same Manager. If one has good relationship, it might be worthwhile to start negotiation with same pay converted in CAD. Given the difficult choices folks are making (moving entire family etc), there is usually more empathy...
