Now Living in USA on H1B got Canada medicals documents for PR

[CanSun]

Hey guys - its a tradeoff  :::

If you want a better quality of life (Healthcare, Education, Crime Rate Etc) - choose Canada.
If you want more money and wider career opportunities - choose USA.

Regarding comparisons between Canada PR and US GC - they are not very different. If you are NOT born in India or China, getting a US greencard is no problem because there is no backlog. It does not take that long(PERM LABOR, I-140 and I-485) - maximum 2 years.
So for all those who have applied for US and Canada as a backup(other than those born in India or China) - DONT PANIC. As long as your documents are in order, you will get your US Green Card without delay.

ALWAYS REMEMBER 1 FACT ::

Total Number of Permanent Residents(Green Cards) taken by USA every year = 1.1 Million (www.dhs.gov)
Total Number of Permanent Residents(Landed Immigrants) taken by Canada every year = 250,000 (wwww.cic.gc.ca)

The Above Numbers speak for themselves - both USA and Canada still welcome a lot of immigrants every year depending on their populations.

Hello Experts

My Medical submition dead line is coming soon , at this junction iam trying to get my application transfer from india to usa ? Is it ok or I will be in the danger ?

ND CIC asked me to send medicals and passport. If I send only medicals now , can send passport later or I will visit to india after some time ? is it make sense ?

Fully confused ! ND CIC also not reponding to my email , Its almost 2 days.

Hey Guys

I have decided not send my passports.

1. I requested ND CIC to transfer my application to USA NY Buffalo Office.
2. Regarding Medicals also I asked them whether to send it to NY Office or CIC office once my file transferred to US NY office ?

Just waiting for their response, I got the confirmation reply , they might be reveiwing my case.

Thanks

Keep you US option open, Canadian move might not work out. I know three of my friends with H1b, went to Canada on PR and worked for few months and came back to US--- Just a suggestion.

Canada is a good place to live. Good social benefits, you just have to get a start and deal with weather. Best of luck-

Hi commonwealth - Could you please share why your H1B friends returned to US? Is it because of lower salaries? weather?

Thank You

I am on H1B in US .. and have applied for Pr from ND.  I dont understand that why is it illegel to stay in US without passport ?

I am planning to send my passport to ND through my husband(who works in india) and will wait for them to return ... me staying in US .
Is this thing illegal?

Individual circumstance and goals play a major role in there sort of situations so don't go with his experience, do you own analysis before you decide. Hope this helps- Good luck!
