>>11772073Working in a related sector on a TN (NAFTA only visa) is pretty easy to do, and it's not unreasonable to think that you would eventually find an American girl to marry if you settle down here. It can renewed indefinitely every 3 years, but it is NOT a duel intent visa. Basically, you would never tell the border officer / CBP that you wish to settle down in America.
Next, the infamous H1B. The big thing with H1B's is that there is a lottery, and that they are duel intent immigrant visas. I don't know much about the process (see
reddit.com/r/h1b for advice and seething pajeets), but basically you can apply for a green card after getting it. However, the number of green cards issued every year is capped by country of birth.
>Family reunification has always been the main priority of the U.S. immigration system, so the bulk of green cards go to people sponsored by family members already in the country. A small share of total green cards — around 140,000 — are reserved for the employment category, per a 1990 immigration law. No one country can be allotted more than 7 percent of the total work visas, which feed into the employment-based green card pipeline (although visas left over in one category can roll over to another). Despite changes in the economy and labor market, this upper limit of 7 percent has remained the same since 1990.Basically, at most 9800 H1B pajeets are allowed to apply every year, so they face a decades long backlog just to apply for a greencard, leaving them in an H1B limbo. If you're not born in india/china, there's not really any backlog.
To most of my European/5 eyes frens seeking to move to America, I tell them it's not worth it. It's really not so great here. But if your dream is to have a career in aerospace, you don't really have a choice. All things considered, it's probably easiest for a Canadian to move to the US.
