Hello Friends,
Since most of the people in this forum are from USA(on H1B) or CAN(moved from US or went to CAN directly), I would like to share some of my thoughts and questions, and also it would be great, if you could contribute your thoughts to help each other.
Why Canada?
Here are the reasons for Canada? (Feel free to correct the things):
a) Not sure of GC, and employer troubles (H1B, pay, job and Insurance)
b) Canada Health insurance for life (US Insurance is a big deal, when you are out of job(even if you have GC or citizenship))
c) From day 1, I have PR in Canada, so I can work on my own, and I am independent. I would be happy
d) Schooling is better atleast equal to US, and Canada schools most of the time out perform US schools
e) Schooling in US for your kids depends on your income basically the neighborhood you live in and the school they attend. Canada is different in this case, all public schools get same standard and education irrespective of school location.
f) No fear of recession because of the economy structure (yes, there will be an impact but not as drastic as US)
Since I almost got PR(tracker got activated yesterday night), and my monkey mind started swinging between US and CAN, and I feel eventually I start living in CA and working in US (border city). Not sure, but keeping an open mind?
I would like to know other people opinion who are in my situation. Would you rather prefer to move to CAN and work there instead of balancing on both boats? if so why, and if not why not? Please share your thoughts so that we all could make a good decision based on collective knowledge.
Note: Even though CAN looks attractive with all options and PR, initially I did the PR as a back up option, then explored all other advantages. Now in a dilemma what to do. Please share your thoughts to enlighten me with your views. Thanks once again.
Thanks!
