Topic: US visa sponsorship for the current employee

Hi folks
I am a data scientist working for a big corporation in Canada. I want to know what usually happens if an employee asks to transfer to US office but working with the same team? Do they usually sponsor for the US work visa?

Research TN visa for Canadians. I believe this can only be done if your job title falls within the list they have and maybe it can only be done when you’re first starting your position. I can be wrong though. I know you can get HR to write a letter that you can present at the border.
There is another visa but I heard it’s a lot harder to get.

Hello, Need an advice on my offer from Deloitte. I am on OPT and looking for H1B sponsorship this year, recruiter said they will do it but I am wondering if I join after 2 weeks will they be able to do it as there won’t be much time left. My current company will file H1 for me. I got an offer for a consultant role at D with 25$k extra than my current salary and 10$k sign in bonus but I am currently working as a Sr Con. Is it advisable to take a risk in my case considering H1 as a priority?
