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

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch. It’s listed as $8,750 on Omega’s website; Geneva Seal (in Chi where we live) quoted me $8,200 all-in & they’ll cover tax; my jeweler knows a watch broker in NY who quoted me $8,250. I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)
