US visa question: I’m a Canadian with a non technical degree (business) and my company (American tech firm) doesn’t sponsor Visas. Is it still possible to get a TN visa and move?

Are you looking to stay with your current company or find a new one? The TN requires that you have an employer.

Definitely L1, especially if it’s a managerial role within the same company

Tough environment right now

No.

For a TN, you need to specify one of the NAFTA job titles and provide documentation supporting this (helps to have a letter from your employer). If your experience and education fit a NAFTA job title / description, you should be good (even if it’s a business degree).

You can try the L1 visa. It's for intercompany transfers but you need to have worked for at least 1 consecutive year at your company in Canada

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance. Started the process 2 weeks ago with HR and now they've ghosted me since then, though they said I have stuff to fill out ASAP. Normal? And am I too American pushy if I reach out to the hiring manager (and my future team) for an update instead?

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
