Hello guys. Is this a general issue. I try to preview my score before submitting my application and it's writting this.

I have gone back to what I filled pre ITA and it's the same with what I filled currently..

Everything showing blank under my Preview score.

Can I submit like that?

Hey all, I have a quick question and hoping to find some answers.

I did soft landing back in July 2022 and didn't fill out any GTF list and told the agent I will be moving permanently later.

I am planning to visit Toronto for couple of days in August. Now do I have to fill in GTF list or can I say I am only visiting. I have plans to move to Canada sometime in May 2024.

Any help is appreciated.

Do it when you are moving in permanently. I travelled to Canada thrice before moving permanently. I provided the GTF list when I moved in permanently.

Hi @jessicajoon ,

I remember you were confused about taking the H1B vs Canada PR.
Are there any updates on that?
Which one did you choose eventually?

Took the Canadian PR route even though my country only takes ~2 years for a GC. I want a "immigration headache free" life for now.

You should have taken the GC path.

 

[jessicajoon]

You should have taken the GC path.

The plan was to spend two years in the US, hopefully get my GC, if not come back to Canada to maintain residency requirements.
But I got a job in the US paying almost exactly the same while working remote from Canada. Granted I could lose my job anyday but I also don't have to scramble my belongings to move out of country in 30 days.

You were the one who suggested her to take the Canada PR path...

How difficult is it to find a remote job in the US? Did you go to master in the US?

Plot twist, wow!

I had recruiters reach out to me on Linkedin and I asked for a remote job from Canada. It is a decent size company with offices in US, Canada and few other countries.

Just don't change location to Canada on Linkedin, there are far more opportunities in US.

Honestly, you've living the best of both worlds. Just stay in Canada with a US salary. No headache for safety, healthcare and all that. You're earning in USD which will give you a huge advantage in COL in Canada. Congrats

HF, I did. Lol, my bad. I did not know that OP could get the GC in 2 years.

I took American jobs with India as my location. If someone is willing to hire across geo/country, it makes very little difference - otoh, it does appear to reduce confidence on someone when someone does this. Saying this as I hire across the NA and EU.

You have your answer. Avoid the uncertain path. Work for an American company in Canada, get Canadian citizenship and run to US thru L1A or H1, and then get your green card. By moving to US now with uncertainty on GC, you are losing Canadian PR and if you don't get your GC, you are back to square 1.

@RSub
so, if we are from a country that doesn't have a GC backlog it's better to go straight for H1B -> GC?
It seems like the H1B lottery chance currently is 17%.

Non-Indians and Non-Chinese on a H1B should stick to US. No H1b, move out. No quicker pathway to GC, move out. But I don't see the logic why someone with an H1B, easier pathway to GC moves to Canada.
