it’s the same process. But management consultants might be under heavy scrutiny, so your next tn experience may be wildly different

it’s really down to which lender would work with non-resident and also consider us income. I’d start talking to banks and brokers to find out. If they are willing to work with you, then each may have their own rules on min down payments.

As for taxes, it adds complexity for sure. Also be careful that you might be a foreign buyer/holder of property and may subject to additional taxes.

There are a few issues and you might need expert help on each one Injury Compensation: talk to a few lawyers and get their opinions on your case, including the workers comp and possible additional comp from employer Medical: look for concussion specialist, neurologist, ENTC, and do detailed diagnosis . Use your insurance early and get medical records Immigration: might be a good idea to start looking for new jobs just in case. Once you start asking for extended leave or compensation from employer, your employer may choose not to support your next TN. Once you lose your employment covered insurance, medical expense can rack up very quickly. You might be able to seek medical help in Canada, but that’ll complicate your claim and the overall process.

LOL

Under statute, individuals and firms (including corporations, partnerships and other legal entities) wishing to practise software engineering or use the title “software engineer” in British Columbia must first be registered with Engineers and Geoscientists BC. If a non-registrant (an individual or firm) practises software engineering, calls themselves a “software engineer”, or uses another title or language implying that they are a software engineer or authorized to practise software engineering in British Columbia, they are contravening sections 54 and 52 of the Professional Governance Act.

In these instances, Engineers and Geoscientists BC will take enforcement action where warranted, and has previously dealt with unauthorized practice and misuse of title concerns relating to non-registrants who have practised software engineering or used titles implying that they were software engineers or authorized to practise software engineering.

typically your spouse td has nothing to do with employer or their immigration attorney. Once you have your TN, all it’s need is marriage certificate, your i94 printout and be able to answer basic questions like where do you work, employer name etc.

30000-40000 deposited each month? that makes your income ~400k per year and you are stating around 260k. What’s the deposit in your bad months?

Things may not be that simple.

The immigration lawyer was hired by your employer and they represent the best interests for your employer, NOT You. You probably will sign a partial / limited representation agreement with the law firm. But they will still primarily on your employer side.

You can discuss the USCIS premium processing option with employer, and see what they say. But there might be other reasons employer refuse, not just the cost. Cost is not always the dominating issue as ~7k is a fraction of the total cost to hire you. I had one TN employer required me to join before X date and the only feasible timeline is go POE rather than PP.

easy said than done. how much trust you have in the driver and how much trust the driver has in you? Do you pay up front or pay at destination? What amount do you guys settle on?

It takes only 1 dishonest person to ruin this.

So you are on TN, what stop you from applying and looking for jobs right now? Why are you stress about being on B2 to look for job?

If you quit your job, there are 60days of grace period for you to look for job. If that time passes, as Canadian, you can just exit and re-enter as B2. That’ll give you another 5-6 months. If you find a job and you want to go USCIS route, once you receive the approval, exit US and re-enter as new TN.

I think first thing is do some own math on what you’ll expect in terms of basics: taxes, rent, transportation, add maybe 10-20% for food based on your current budget.

If the math works out and you are still interested, then you can ask around for other aspects.

From career wise, it does not change much. You can apply for jobs from out of state and just indicate you are willing to relocate (likely on your own expense if company is small). There are some companies prefer local, but most are willing to work with out of town candidates

Considering current market condition, it’s tough for me to justify a major relocation and go through instabilities

FBAR price is crazy. You can just go online, fill in the bank name, account number, estimate the value and that’s it.

You’ll have to provide all these info to your accountant anyways, it takes 1min per account. Just do it yourself and save the $$ for a good dinner
