Working, otherwise I wouldn’t need work auth. Though this week, maybe just meetings.

Yeah, I’m not winging the whole process I've got the full stack of paperwork and lawyer on speed dial. We're well supported on this type of thing. Just looking for data points on the part of the process BCG doesn’t control ie the CBSA on-site processing.

like

Does your paperwork indicate you are being sponsored by a Canadian business entity and that you won’t be paid by any Canadians? That is, BCG in the US will continue paying you even if BCG in Canada sponsors you. If that’s in the papers, you should be good. It also helps if the letter you have explains your credentials. The whole process took me about 45-60 minutes, which consisted mostly of waiting around.

Again, very confident my paperwork is order and have lots of expertise on that topic. Thanks for the datapoint on timing.

One thing I know it’s not instantaneous you may work with your organizations people mobility

Canada is weird sometimes you need a letter sometimes a work visa sometimes neither

Part of it will depend what airport you’ll be at - somewhere like Toronto or Vancouver will take longer than a smaller airport since they see the highest volume of people which makes them ask more questions

Shouldn’t take more than 30 mins. Had mine done 2 weeks ago but I landed around 8 pm and airport was mostly empty.

Ended up doing it late night arrival at a mid-size airport. Pretty painless. From arrival to approval was maybe an hour

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.
