Ask HN: Has anyone moved to Canada?
Canada (Specifically Toronto) does not.
But I am not exactly sure how I would get a visa.
I asked this on reddit and got circlejerked around
- In the business I am in I generate revenue and therefore profit, eventually in the 100's of thousands per month (I just started, already quadrupled my investment!).
- There is only me in my business - I own it and I do 100% of the work.
- It is not a skill like being a plumber.
So looking at visas you either get a Skilled Federal visa like a plumber or you start your own company, have to be VC or angel backed, and you have to employ x amount of people.
Neither of these scenarios work for me. Why would I want to give a vc XX% of my company, for life, when I don't need any startup capital? Plus it already works!
Has anyone been in a similar situation, say, such as an iOS developer who creates his own apps himself and publishes them himself?
I am sure I could do what I do, VC funded and employ people, but I don't want to employ people and have that responsibility just to earn 2-3x what I will be earning at that point, but then have to spend 30-40% more on wages etc + the VC cut therefore earning even less.
There must be a way surely!?
Thanks
