because you need 2 things (residency and geeks) no matter where you live you have to be mentally prepared to live there for a year or 2 before you move permanently. i would suggest to file for immigration for canada and in the mean time find a temporary place to live couple of years. the best thing is to shortlist top 2 places and then apply for immigration at one place and move temporarily to the place that was 2nd on the list (who know you may like 2nd place more than the first one). Also if you file for canadian PR (while you're in US) then it won't take longer - US cases are faster than other countries but you need to file while you are living in US. Your choices: Asia: Singapore, India, Indonesia, Philippines Europe: any eastern europe that has good weather and geeks. Far East: Australia (btw australia also has immigration policy, and fantastic weather) Middle East: Abu-dhabi and Dubai (most happening place, no tax, you just need to find good geeks or import it from India). Good Luck. P.S: Find out everything about Australia and Canada - they both have immigration policy - in fact i recently heard that australia has something like temp work visa for people under 30 and then you can file for permanent residency.
