Canadian, recent high school grad. What are faster ways to working and eventually living in the US than doing a degree then getting H1-B?
F-1 and OPT then H1-B? O-1? Making some money in Canada then starting a company and E-2?
- klipt 11y agoCanadians can work on TN (treaty NAFTA) visa if your profession is on the list. http://canada.usembassy.gov/visas/doing-business-in-america/tn-visas-professionals-under-nafta.html http://canada.usembassy.gov/visas/doing-business-in-america/...
- cperciva 11y agoTN requires a degree, though. That said, I don't think there's any good route for a Canadian high school grad to immigrate to the US. So my advice to shpx would be to spend the four years to get a degree, and then go for TN.
- schwap 11y agoYou --can-- substitute applicable work experience for a degree. Edit: Nope you can't, I conflated TN and H1-B
- canadiancreed 11y agoAs someone that went down the experience route instead of degree, I'd strongly second this advice. Without it, you're effectively locked out of the US barring a radical loosing of their immigration laws.
- ameen 11y agoIsn't TN Visa also an option?
