Hi all!
I thought we should make comparisons between the USA and Canada so we know our
positions and opportunities and see whether it\'s worth (probably for many of us) to suffer through
the GC process and in the meantime being exploited like hell.
I personally wouldn\'t want to live in Canada just like that, but I started getting a GC in the US (I am on H1 now) and
noticed my employer is not letting me know about what\'s happening with my case even though he promised.
After asking him several times, I am getting tired of the while thing.
Since immigrating into Canada can be done individually and also, Canada places IT pros in favorite categories,
why don\'t try and get rid of being exploited and be able to choose jobs you want and like.
As I said such cases might not apply to all of us, but there are really some extreme cases, and I am only talking about those.
Please accept my apologies if this is frustrating or it sounds overkill to you, but I think it would not hurt to anyone to get a few
ideas about the differences, positive and negative things about the two countries.
So I came up with couple factors like:
tax,
jobs,
salaries in IT industry,
people (in general),
laws,
safety,
family support,
health care (I know it is all federal, I mean here more the quality of health care),
life in big cities vs. suburbs,
and life in general with their counterparts in the USA.
So guys, please share any experiences in these (and not only) areas.
