Deloitte 🦈

If I move to the Canada firm for a year.

Would it be possible to come back to Deloitte US on L1 visa.

The question here is, would it be considered as one year worked outside US with same firm?

Haha good one.

I guess this is what I wanted to ask,

Would it be considered as working for same company outside the US?

You want a faster green card is what you want ?

You do not need to be in a managerial capacity for an L1 unless your purpose to seek an L1 is to expedite your green card (which was my original question). Seems like that is what you're seeking to do. And in that case, you have to be in a managerial capacity. And yes Canada entity can make it happen

like

Yes you can. Just make sure you are a Manager or above for better chances of L1 approval. I was at Deloitte in 2009 and several of us went through this transfer to Canadian firm when Deloitte US decided to pause GC applications due to the market meltdown. Fortunately US firm was running some large projects in Canada (in collaboration with Canadian firm). We all got staffed on that long term project. Most of us came back after 18-24 months with L1 and got our green cards in two years after that.

Lot of speculations and sometimes wrong information here ... So let me break all of your doubts

1. Yes you can transfer to Deloitte Canada and spend atleast 1 year, then apply for L1A or L1B

2. You don't have to be managerial , only L1A needs manager role not L1B

3. Deloitte Canada immigration will always suggest you to start only after 18 months just to remove any ambiguity in consulate but will not force you

4. Canada expects you to atleast spend 2 yrs here but most of the partners just treat you as individual contributor , as long as I can staff you, I don't care

5. No it is not easy to grow fast in Canada specially for M and above levels , true for A to M though ... But very subjective on the offering and remeber you are always seen as someone who leaves and I would spend my promotion budget on someone who stays here for longer

6. For all this to happen you need partner support on both sides ,majority does unless you are from too niche a offering

Hope this helps !

Deloitte law firm suggest 18 months at least before apply L visa so give or take it would take 2 years total from be in Canada to come back.

Just make sure you are not popping in and out of USA

I would suggest spending 3 years in canada. 1. You will rise up faster than us if you perform well. Higher up the ladder, you might satisfy l1 requirements better. 2. You can get your canadian citizenship in 3 years or atleast qualify which means you can walk into USA without a visa. 3. You can work in usa on a T1 visa and if you switch to h1b, you don’t have to worry about being kicked out of usa in 60 days

1. Rise up faster ? 🤣 sorry, that's a baseless statement

2. Not get kicked out of the US in 60 days? Yes, you will be expected to leave just like any other individual. You cannot just continue to stay in the US as a Canadian who lost his/her H1b status. You must leave (but can come back again).

You can come back on H1 too if L1 doesn’t work out. People on H1 also qualify for EB1 category as long they prove that they worked in the same firm (or sister firm) internationally at a manager role (not necessarily the designation, you could be Senior Consultant managing people) for at least 1 year.

Obviously if you can get L1A that would be awesome. H1 could be your plan B

I don’t think Deloitte US can get you back on L1 due to them being separate company, instead of one firm. Neither will Deloitte US actively try to do that. You will be just like any other Canadian practitioner - there’s still limited chances to transfer to the US firm but depends on US business needs. It will be a whole new transfer.

D6 I agree with you. I was trying to say don’t expect Deloitte US to actively bring you back on L1 like FAANG or MBB. It’s just not the same way. Once you are in Canada you are in a different firm and US firm has nothing to do with you, unless there’s an extreme business need.

It would if you were serving as an executive or manager for that year.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ? Vendors keep on asking to join on W2 rather that Corp to Corp although for employees on H1B we cannot join on W2 due to immigration issues. Point being does it matter for end client , if the contractor is coming as W2 or not ?
