Anyone with experience transferring from Deloitte US to Canada while on an H1B in the US? Will the firm not be willing to transfer because I have work authorization?

Looking to transfer due to family reasons.

Thanks for the help!

I am moving to Canada after about 7 years in US on H1B as it doesn’t look like I will get a GC in this lifetime. I followed the same process which is to have my partner call their Canadian counterparts for help. It took a while for everything to go through so always start early.

I have applied for Canadian PR through federal express entry and am waiting for the application to be picked. The process is straight forward and you don’t even need an attorney. If you have a job offer in Canada you get enough points to apply for PR on your own. D can also help in the process if needed. Apart from federal there are provincial PR programs too. It’s less complicated than the U.S. system and COB does not matter as long you have the skills and the necessary points.

Typically for family reasons, the firms are supportive. There is a lot of talent need in Canada, so that should make things easy for you.

Thank you so much! Appreciate the follow up.

Internal transfers are hard, you need to know a partner in Canada who can support.
When I was in Deloitte, I applied through their Canada career website and I got an interview call from them

Thank you!

I am currently working for a city and have been with my current position for about a year. Work-life balance and colleagues are great. I came from private practice prior to my current position. There’s a strong demand for laterals now; and I am thinking about going back to private practice because current salary is substantially lower (about 40% lower) than what I can get in private practice. Has anyone here thought about going back to private practice for the salary boost?

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
