Does anyone remember Moses meat shoes?

Nice review, I have a deft pro, how do you think it compares to that?

I moved to the US (California) for 3.5 years. It was actually a great experience. If you work in tech you should be able to make more money in the US and even in a HCOL city you should be able to save some. As other’s mentioned the US is a very diverse place and you should be able to find a state/city/neighbourhood that matches your lifestyle and values.

Sponsorship for a green card is a very long process, and I don’t think you can do it from a TN anyway, so you’d need to switch to an immigrant intent visa (H1-B, EB, etc.) The whole process can take years even for Canadian born people (if you are born in India or China you could wait decades)

Ultimately I decided to move back to Canada, being close to family was more important to me than making more money. I also didn’t want to raise kids in the US.

More likely the ones left are on some work visa and do not have as much freedom to leave.
