Miami or LA?

Got ITA in Sep last year.
Applied for PR in November from US.
I got an email from IRCC in April, saying that the application has been approved, and will receive further notice on when I should send my passport for stamping.

But I still haven't received any updates on the next steps.

Anybody in the same boat?
Did anyone get the email asking to send the passport for stamping?
If yes, then can you share any steps you might have taken to get this.

Thanks in advance

Hello Folks.

WHAT TO DO!!!!!

Amazon came back with an offer (Non tech L5)
I didn't like it to be honest even though i wanted to be part of amazon for a really long time.

My Current CTC- 30(27.3+2.7)
Amazon - 30 fixed
+ 5 JB(For 2 years) and +11 RSU.
Technically 0% hike.

HR told me numbers on call but never sent estiamtes (been 1 week)
When I followed up she said she is taking approvals.

She is taking approvals on the salary I didn't agree to.
I messaged her to know structure but no revert.

I feel like there are talks of a “California Exodus” that happens every 10 years.

But with the pandemic, people’s loss of faith in CA politics, transplants moving back home, and people opting to move either to more suburban cities or out of state for cheaper housing options because they’ll be WFH permanently, do you guys think that this time around, a “California Exodus” actually has legs?

As a native Angeleno, I’m interested to see how much the city will change after this pandemic.
