Due to a dispute with the devs I lost the access to the tool, but now I'm trying to bring it back to life. It seems especially critical in this moment with the H1-B turmoil down south of Canada.
Please let me know what you think of it.
Also, if you want to talk about your chances of moving to Canada, let me know privately what the doughnut chart in the top right corner says after you complete the assessment with your own details.
I'm not looking to charge you anything, I just want to help my peers and also get my tech back up and running to have another shot at my startup.
Thanks so much Blake, Founder of Emigro Startup Studio
Our housing is spiraling out of control, we have no unity between provinces (Alberta vs BC, Alberta vs East), we get screwed on just about ANY service (we pay insane amounts for flights and telecom for instance) and we get paid a bunch less (as in x times less) than our counterparts in the US. Our dollar is far lower than USD making most products far more expansive. Best jobs in Canada are public sector.
Healthcare is better than the US - I am not going to be bankrupted by a broken wrist. But I do have to wait many months before I can see a specialist (I had to wait 1+ years for a surgery for instance).
Better? I'm not so sure. For a tech worker US is a far better place IMO.
Canada does in a sense have a diversity lottery for work permits, but this is only with countries that we have international labour mobility programs with and excludes the biggest world movers like India, Philippines, Nigeria, China... But our population is so small that there are more people that want to move to Canada than there are actual Canadian citizens, being even more open would radically change the country.
Thanks!
For this assessment, nothing is being stored unless you submit your email address, it's all front-end JavaScript. Even then, I will just be deleting anything that comes in.
The future intent is to offer the assessment as a gateway to a SaaS product, and also have a marketplace of immigration lawyers that you could pick one to share the info with if you wanted to engage their service. But right now none of that is in place.
Thanks!
It's a little convoluted because the Express Entry system was introduced in 2015 on top of the three existing skilled worker programs and the CDN government just hasn't caught the tech up to where it should be.
I made this tool as the best available for merging these program calculators, and also making it so that I can optionally assess people for provincial programs, work permits etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!
So in this case you would put NO, and then go on and give your approximate level in the next question.
Thanks!
Thanks!
