Anyone had to travel to Canada for a project on H-1B? What was the visa process? I have a tourist visa..

I think if you are going to be there for more than 30 days you need to get a work permit. I got one for a 8 month long project back in 2013. Was a huge pain in the ass, took almost 1.5 months for processing. I'd recommend that you move quick.

They don't have a separate visa. The tourist visa is good enough. Unless ur entering the Canadian labor market (getting paid there), you don't need a visa if the visit is for less than 4 weeks

I'm just going there for 1 week to interview the clients for an assessment. And then maybe at the end of the 1 month assessment to driver the final report. Did you guys need any sort of letter or documentation?

Nah just say you are visiting. No need to give further explanation.

@E1 you mean say Im visiting as a tourist??? While that can be done, I'm not a fan of messing with immigration laws..

Jus get an invitation letter from your client, specifying that you're gonna be there just for a week. And get another letter for the 2nd trip as well. That is what I carried, but wasn't asked for by the immigration auth.

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

Tired of all the respectability politics. Just once I want to write what I really mean in an email or tell a client what I really think of them when they ask. F*cking tired of walking on eggshells and constantly wondering if I did or said the right thing in the right way or the right tone to make sure the people around me are comfortable. Who's doing that for me at work? Nobody.

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
