Yes that's true unforetunately. But getting a work visa in Canada is not difficult. It's likely with his skills he can find a tech job here. If it's that important he has access to the US then being in Canada is the best next option. The extra money would only hurt in his loss of time dedicated to his startup work.
- menloparkbum 17y agoIsn't there a 6 year visa backlog in Canada for skilled immigrants?
- fossb 17y agono... it is usually done in a few months. The usa has this 6 years backlog..

"
- Ennis 17y agoAgain, work visa does not mean immigration. It means he gets to live here and has access to the US if he needs it. And he has access to VCs and startup communities as well.
- boris 17y agoIf he needs a job in order to legally reside in Canada then it means he cannot work on his startup full time.
