I got it this year, haven’t moved yet.. pretty straight forward process on their cic site... I’m planning to move by next year summer so will wait for a job I’m interested in!

@Senior Associate, are you planning to move because your work authorization in US expires? Or is it out of choice?

My h1b expires in early 2020, and my firm has already filled for green card but the immigration process is going to take too long. Doesn’t make sense to live in an environment of uncertainty. Besides my younger brother and his fiancé live in Toronto and my mother is also planning to move so makes sense to me.

I’ve been seeing this a lot more recently and just had to make a thread about it. I refuse to believe that anyone on here has actually been asked to work a 100hr week. People come onto this thread with legitimate questions and concerns and I just see people trying to scare them out of public which inevitably makes it worse for everyone else who sticks around. Even an 80 hour week is debatable and that is the absolute top. Stop trying to be an attention getter. We work, but not 24/7.
