I think this would be my choice esp if they’re are offering the same pay package in india too. Depending on the city, the COL will def be lower than Canada, plus family and hired help is a huge plus.

You at least have the option to take full 1.5 yr (as long as the pay works out). You can also choose not to take it. That being said - you will have a lot of help in India which you won’t get in Canada.

I am in Canada for almost 10 years. While free healthcare is good , there are cons too. Not to scare you but there have been bad incidents- not getting appointments on time. A friend of mine had to go to india after 1.5 months of post- preg because she was suffering through pain which dr here didn’t consider serious.

If you're going to have the baby in less than 6 months, b1 might be an option. But definitely get legal support on this

I cant do this cause I might lose my job if I decide to stay here

From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

I'm on a h1b1 visa and really want to get a green card. Any advice?

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
