> You're trying to portray these requirements as transparent and easy I said "transparent and straightforward" not "easy". Every single one of the attributes that Canada likes (other than age) is something you can control. Whereas the US is basically impossible for Indians due to a factor they have no control over: place of birth. Note Canada also has a separate track for skilled tradespeople - they aren't just taking college grads. > Canadian job requirement is essentially a prerequisite for anyone to be able to hire you in Canada...there are stories and stories I can give you anecdotes of people who went to Canada and found jobs within weeks. I think it's highly dependent on the field and your professional network. New immigrants often have no network in Canada. Is it substantially easier for fresh immigrants (i.e. people who come directly, without working in the US previously) to start working in the field of their choice in the US? By the time a Canadian immigrant can qualify for a TN they've built up work experience and a professional network in North America. This makes job hunting in the US easier. I've found the reverse is true too; having worked in the US, getting interviews and offers in Canada is pretty easy.
