1. Get job in Canada
2. Once you have job offer, apply for work permit (LMIA work permit takes several months [6-14] for approval - check government website for accurate info)
LMIA extremely hard to get as your company has to prove that they cannot find a Canadian or temporary resident, or permanent resident to do the job UNLESS you have a very special skill/niche
3. Once you get work permit, move to Canada

Or
1. Create a profile under FSW - Canada Express Entry.
2. If you have a CRS score greater than 470 points or cut-off, when bi-weekly draws happens you get an "invitation to apply" to Permanent Residency (PR)
3. You have 60-90 days to prepare your documents and submitting your PR application
4. 6 months for the government to process your PR | more if it is not easy to verify your info or something amis at the security check
5. You get your COPR with a 1 yr deadline to activate
6. Get job in Canada with same company. Have new contract and start date agreed.
7. Pack your bags and book your flight to Canada
8. You land in Canada, activitate your PR and get PR card at the border
9. Welcome to Canada

I don’t think there should be too many steps:
- do you need visa? If yes, get that
- shift over

I didn’t move from US, but just came from Singapore, but the process is largely the same

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

My wife is around 3 months pregnant. Doctor has recommended Irospan. And my insurance says they don’t cover it.

And is iron deficiency common during pregnancy? Any valuable suggestions are welcome. Thanks
