Bain & Company Atlanta people! I’m in the process of applying for MBA programs and wanted to ask what recruiting is like for MBB from Emorys program? Is there a reasonable shot at getting into the Atlanta office from Emory, or are those openings primarily filled by other schools (Duke, UVA, etc.)

My understanding is that you will not have the same GC struggle because you’re Canadian ... it should be easier

Oops totally missed the last line about born in India 🙁
Don’t worry so much. You can still work in US on TN and move back to Canada if something goes wrong on visa front. US is the biggest market - go for it - a newly minted Indian born Canadian citizen

Thanks! And welcome to the club 🇨🇦😊

Country of birth determines the struggle bruh. Unfortunately you will be considered Indian.
Don’t come to the US if you were born in India. Decades long wait for a green card. Can’t even buy a home man. Absolutely no stability.
He can work on TN visa

I am just curious why you want to move to the US
Pro
Better career opps and $$$, more fun to live in (esp while young), and much better MBA programs. Plan is to come back to Canada later in life though!
Pro
No exceptions even for the Canadian citizenship?! I mean I’m basically American lol.
Does it make the job hunt more difficult as well?
Yep. Not just job, I know people who were born in China (even though they’re Canadian) who face extra immigration checks while entering from Canada

You just missed the boat by 2 years.

Yeah my parents thinking wasn’t long term enough
Your grammar tells me you weren’t particularly smart or outstanding in academics
Grammar = Smart Or Academic??

Edit- is there no way I can keep my Canadian citizenship but just continue living and working in the US? Don’t care about getting GC, citizenship, etc

Lol It’s called TN visa - that’s your work visa. But if you wanna go down the GC rabbit hole you’ve gotta be on the H1. TN is chill tho
Pro
Get a TN visa.
Ignore all the naysayers. US is the biggest market and you will have more opportunities.
But don’t pursue green card or citizenship ( it’s a nightmare and your Canadian citizenship don’t mean shit to USCIS -country of birth). Stay Canadian and work in the US
Pro
Thank you! Figured it’s worth a shot, esp while young. And my plan is to stay Canadian and keep working.
Yes, please google CN visas. It’s specifically designed for what you’re looking for
Sorry sir, you will be in the same line as other Indians due to your country of birth. If your purpose is the just work, without thinking of permanent immigration to the US, then TN visa should work for you.
If you still want to immigrate to the US, marry someone born outside India/China/Mexico and then you can get Green card, then citizenship like any other person from rest of the world.
OP - Canadian here. Sadly, immigration in the US is dependent on the country of your birth. If you are born in India, you won’t receive any immigration precedence over a person who came from India even if you are a Canadian. I know it sounds ridiculous but that’s the reality. I’d suggest moving to Australia or NZ if you like warm weather and better job prospects.
In Canada currently. If you just want to work in the states then it’s pretty straightforward.

if you dont care about GC then get into queue after getting your i140...you can stay till you keep your job or get your h1 extended..could be anywhere between 0- 100 years
