Come on, Canadian & Mexican fishes! Nothing?

Hopefully he does, I can finally get rolled off

Thanks M1 😬👹

What is the point of thinking up scenarios? We can't do anything right now... just wait and see what actually ends up happening, even then it will be 6 months before the US can formally withdraw. Also he doesn't need an EO.

The point is to get an idea what could happen to those of us who are working in the US thanks to NAFTA. Will we still be able to work in the US in 2018? What could change? Makes it kinda hard to plan one's future.

Technically the TN could exist even without NAFTA but that's obviously if the US wants it to and we have no idea what Trump's administration will do.

It's pretty simple - if the US withdraws from NAFTA, our visas could be collateral damage. Maybe, maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see, or proactively apply for H1Bs. We're in consulting - we're used to being flexible and going with the flow... are you going to let this stop you from doing what you want? At minimum, we could transfer to Canadian offices. It's clear that leadership will be doing as much as they can to keep us employed.

BA1. If you work for a Partnership model (eg Deloitte), then each country is its own entity, not sure why Canada would want to make sure Mexicans colleagues are enployed. Unless you have an unique niche skill-set, then again you would have likely transferred already 😬

Sorry, I excluded Mexicans from my thoughts :P Anyway, there won't be a withdrawal from NAFTA at this point, so no cause for concern yet :) also no, I don't work for a partnership model so I don't know exactly how that works.

Accenture, for example is a global organization. Deloitte, on the other hand is a partnership.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
