Ask HN: How did you immigrate from the USA to Canada?
I'm a full-stack developer looking to move permanently from Portland, OR to Vancouver, BC. I am curious how people here handled this type of move and have some specific questions.
1. Should I expect a Canadian company to pay for my relocation, or is this hit or miss depending on the company?
2. Were there many unforeseen costs involved throughout your move? How expensive was the move, overall?
3. Did you hire a relocation company to assist with the move or handle all details yourself? If you had a good experience with a relocation company, can you leave a recommendation?
- oiasdjfoiasd 7y agoI would look into "Express Entry" if you are a skilled worker - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry.html https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/se... This is an expedited immigration process for those with needed skills, and can get you a visa in 2 weeks. If you have job offer, I would speak to your employer who can help you with this. I would also expect your employer to pay for your relocation costs.
