It might be worth getting a PhD first in the US and then migrating to Canada!
- what_ever 8y agoTbh, if you have a PhD, it's not too bad on EB1.
- xtracto 8y agoWent looking for eb1 as I have a PhD from a red brick Univ. PhD is not enough according to Wikipedia: The EB-1 is a preference category for United States employment-based permanent residency. It is intended for "priority workers". Those are foreign nationals who either have "extraordinary abilities", or are "outstanding professors or researchers", and also includes "some executives and managers of foreign companies who are transferred to the US".[1] It allows them to remain permanently in the US.
- what_ever 8y agoSorry for the late reply. > outstanding professors or researchers Works if you have published papers referenced by 10 people. I don't have a PhD but I know a couple of people, one really close friend who did this. In most of the cases PhDs do end up with published papers that get referenced by others. It took couple of years for him for the whole process as an Indian.
- raincom 8y agoThings were good for EB1 till 2008. Then, EB1 was abused by the so-called managers of outsourcing companies: every project manager, team lead, etc, got green cards on EB1, by showing how exceptional they were. Immigration caught up with this game by complaints by other applicants. That's why there is a lot of scrutiny.
