Every major US tech company has Canada-based hubs for sure. So much cheaper.

- TMWNN 2y agoMy understanding is that Canadian FAANG offices are staffed mostly with those who cannot (and often will never get) a US visa, plus the odd local who doesn't want to move to the US for personal or family reasons.

- TMWNN 2y agoThanks for the corroboration. While replying to you, let me clarify my previous comment: >those non-Canadians who cannot (and often will never get) a US visa
- int_19h 2y agoDon't forget about all the people waiting for their L-1. (I've been in that boat myself, and every single person I worked with in the office in Canada is in US today.)
- amatecha 2y agoNot sure about Toronto, but from my anecdotal observation, people come to Vancouver because it's awesome, not because they couldn't get into the US. At least, I've never heard a single coworker say anything along the lines of "I wanted to work in [anywhere in US], but couldn't, so I came to Vancouver".
