I know this question was asked so many times here, but has anyone recently tried to make an appointment for H1B stamping in Canada as a non-Canadian? Has it become faster/easier now that covid restrictions are relaxed?

If you already have previous stamping in home country, I read that Canada is now doing a drop box without having to attend interview

As far as I know, they are doing for H1B and H4’s. Not sure of L1 visa

I recently emailed a lot of canadian embassies and said they’re not ready to entertain non-canadians even for just h1b visa stamping. But maybe they changed it? I emailed last month.

I do believe that the US consulate usually closes down in summer. It isn't always but I dont know what the covid protocol is

Do you need a Canadian visa to enter Canada for H1b stamping? I know you don’t need a Mexican visa to stamp in Mexico but not sure if it applies to Canada as well

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)
