You said you have 10 year wait for green card. So you must be either from India or China.

Canada's express entry is the best option for you if you can sacrifice a pay cut. All other countries are turning anti immigrant nowadays. So tread carefully in case of other countries.

IMO, money is not all that important when compared with the high levels of stress, anxiety and uncertainty about the future in US when you are on H1B.

I went that route (express entry) and never looked back and is doing well and settled in Canada without any regrets. The tech scene is getting better in Canada.

What if I don't have my face as my profile picture ? Will I be denied entry at the border because the officer cannot "verify" that the FB profile belongs to me ?

I can forsee many idiosyncratic incidents waiting to happen in the near future with this.

No one will bother. Because this does not affect citizens.

Let's see how many will call their congressmen about this because it violates rights of non US citizens.

Thank you for considering this. This is what I am using to filter HN currently.

Is is too much of an ask if you can add a filter option?

For example I do not want to see post titles containing a certain keyword or from a certain popular domain.

As an Indian, I too had this WTF moment. It makes me wonder why paper is still used in the western world. Makes one wonder if there is a TP lobby out there ? We used to make jokes what if a TP user have diarrhea, how many trees will that be ?

If a bird shits on your hand will you use paper or water to clean it ? Its just that simple to comprehend. Just use water damn it. Cheap, hygienic, no left overs and green too !

Isn't it changing in Canada now. Express entry is reeling in talents from US and around the world with its merit based system. LMIA based Temporary skilled foreign worker visa applications are going downhill. The exception there is Quebec which has no clear immigration policy based on skills and companies in Québec are struggling to run business there because of Québec's lack of clear immigration.

As someone who immigrated to Canada from an H1B, I feel the difference in treatment and perception. I can demand fair salary, take promotions, even take vacations without fear. I respect Canada in giving me the opportunity.

Ex H1B who immigrated to Canada here. American Express does the same thing too in Phoenix,Arizona. Salary is posted as a range in a low traffic break room. The range is 65K to 110K. That's a broad range. So the actual salary given is plausible.

Phoenix location is like a sweat shop because it has a lot of H1B workers, while the non H1b New York location has good facilities. This shows that even the facilities provided are different. Although I don't agree with Trump in most of his policies, I do agree on his H1B policies and OPT changes.
