My wife and I both have PhDs in electronics (her’s was 50% neuroscience) I have run a successful business for 7 years and she works for a high end car manufacturer in electrical design as a manager, both are native UK.
We can get a permenant residency Canada visa straight off the bat without a job offer (quicker with a job offer though granted).
We can’t work out how to get a US visa for love nor money and have basically given up thinking about it.
Canada certainly seems easier from where we are.
- ng12 8y agoYeah, that's the point. If you're wealthy, highly employable, and culturally compatible it's easy. Everyone else gets a big fat "no". Trump's gotten flack for suggesting the USA do the same.

- ng12 8y agoIn the US work-related visas have no cultural or language requirements. In addition, the USA has an immigration lottery which has no education, wealth, or employability requirements, especially for people coming from under-represented countries.
