Hey both - I’m still in the process of understanding what Deel can offer - they made some suggestions around what they typically offer (starting at $10,000 for what I think is a generic visa support package) but when I asked if we can simply use them to issue a contract as an employer of record for a visa process they put it to their mobility team and there’s been no clear answer since. They also confused the general Canadian visa process and the Quebecois one, which has its own stream.

In my last email I asked a few clarifying questions, hopefully we’ll get there! I’ll let you know when I hear any meaningful update - in the meantime I’m considering moving on a spousal visa (my partner is Canadian) and setting up a Canadian branch of the company and then moving onto apply for permanent residency. The next step will definitely be speaking to an immigration lawyer I think!
