Now I've finally done some reading and it sounds as though it's going to be a lot harder than I thought. From what I understand an H1A and H1B work visa is about the only way I'll make it (I have no close family and no love interest).
H1A = Masters degree or higher
H1B = Masters degree equivelant experience or higher
I have no post secondary education but almost 10 years of professional development experience.
I was under the impression that I.T shortages in Canada/USA meant individuals with my background had an easy time moving here or there.
I'm tired of Canadian winters and lack of innovation - especially in my city - hence the drive to move - I'm thinking California would be awesome.
Does anyone know of any exceptions made for I.T employees? SImilar to say Canadian retiree's that move down or wealthly businessmen, etc?
I have gogled and read everything of relevance on the USCIS web site.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Alex
