I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

Canadian's thinking

What ABOUT our thinking? #l2s

I’m planning on going to the states next year. Double the salary and better opportunities.

I would get the green card and figure out where I want to live later. Nothing about getting it would preclude you eventually settling back down in Canada. But it opens up living in Hawaii or Florida or Texas or New Orleans - very different cultural and climatic environments to anything we have in Canada.

Yeah that's my thought too. It'll take roughly 2 years to get my green card I'd imagine. 2 years is still 2 years though.

Why don’t you just get paid in USD?
