I'm confused.
Me and wife both are in USA currently
I lost my job due to covid-19. Wife got PR and currently she also got an entry level job in canada.
I don't have work visa in canada but do have in USA.
Currently interviewing other companies in USA.
Nothing solid yet but still I found certain companies are still hesitate to sponsor visa.
What should I do ?
Should I move to Canada with wife and wait for 2 more months for work visa there ?
Or should I keep looking in USA. 🙄

Bird in hand worth two in the bush. Move to Canada.

What's your US Visa situation? Can u stay in the US as long as needed to find a job?

I would recommend moving to Canada with your wife, running and maintaining two households will prove quite expensive..

Yes I have applied for extension of my immigrant visa.
With this I can stay untill that period allows.
Thanks for your recommendation.
I am sure it will be expensive if I stay here in usa and my wife stays in canada
And that's not we are thinking as well.

I am concerned that there will be 2 more months of unemployment since that's the time Canada will take to issue work visa
