More competition for Techies. Scenes are fast changing in the US Tech World. Many that did not care about Canada are badly waiting to apply for Canadian PR and applying for Canadian Tech jobs.

US is the "Mean Girl" of the countries. No surprises here. They are brutal because they love it that way only. Many times for no good reasons.

Oh well, in Canada these folks will have to fight for mythical Canadian experience. Canadian PR is taking a bit longer these days. Job scene? Hard to say. Very person dependent. I tried recently (just for kicks) in Samsung and Google. Samsung was pretty easy. Trouble is they want me to move to Vancouver and raise was not really great. So thank you!

Google kicked me out after 5 interview loops. They told me to come back in 6 months and try again.

I will try Microsoft next year, they have few fully remote roles... Its been long long long time when I last worked for them.

Fun times!

The Canadian experience thing for new immigrants is real, even in tech.

Quite opposite. Its much easier to convince Amazon/FB/Apple/Google (who the hell works for twitter anyways?) that you can handle your shit if you beat their Algo/coding/design interviews.

Try giving interviews of some of the banks etc. They have VERY VERY laser focused requirements.
-2 years of experience in using chatGPT to develop multichannel banking applications.
-3 years of experience in using `removeAll()` API to clear EJB containers in a canadian mobile financial app.
-10 years of experience in Canadian banking market in developing react.js multichannel mobile applications.

Yeeeeeah!

I will take FAANG/Microsoft interview over this bullshit any day!

Why the hate against h1b folks? Regardless of how IRCC has handled immigration, h1b people have it far far worse than people applying for Canadian PR. It's not even remotely comparable. Some Canadian PR applicants are so thin skinned they start freaking out if they don't get an update for a couple of weeks (or even less in some of the AOR threads, it's hilarious). Imagine having to live for years with no updates, tied down to a single employer, and having no meaningful labor rights.

Hey Everyone, asking those who have been in the woods and these forums more recently:
How does the processing time compare right now for FSW-inland and FSW-outland?
I know that the latter should generally last longer than the former because of the more comprehensive background check and all that, but I have heard/read that there is also a backlog of cases, and sometimes backlogs have a weird way of getting cleared out by IRCC.
So I would appreciate any insight on this specifically for someone who is choosing right NOW which one to go for. Thanks.

From what I have seen, most of them still work at american companies remotely, most get PR just to be on safe side?
