  The move to Canada is such an easy one as an American.

  If you are sick of some of the shit happening down here and don’t want to learn a new language, aren’t interested in culture-shock, and overall want to be surrounded by friendlier folks, then Canada is pure win. I’d be more willing to move to Canada than move to most other states in the union.

      I’m pretty sure Quebec is openly hostile to newcomers who don’t know Quebec French.

      But you can survive without knowing French in Quebec.

  Giving more options to H1B visa tech workers is great! In order for Canada to compete for all tech talent in the US though (including US citizens), Canadian tech companies will need to have much better salaries.

  If they did the same for the digital nomad visa, it would cause a housing crisis.
