Yeah I'm an American who went to school here in Vancouver, started a company, doing well, but probably moving myself and the company back to the States soon as it's very difficult to get a VISA. The new startup VISA only applies to companies that are fundraising.

- raquo 13y agoIf you finished a post-secondary program you're (probably) entitled to a post-graduate work permit. Beyond that, there's Federal Skilled, Federal CEC programs and BC PNP. Are you sure that you've explored all your options? You may want to talk to an immigration lawyer if you didn't yet.
- skylan_q 13y agoWe're too busy importing people with "masters degrees" from Indian and Chinese "universities". I'm pretty sure this is worth more points than having a degree from even an ivy league school.
- robotresearcher 13y agoJust in case this is useful to you one day: A travel visa is a normal, uncapitalized noun "visa". The capital "VISA" is a trademark of the credit card company. Neither is an acronym.
- otterley 13y agoTrivia: VISA is in fact a recursive acronym, much like GNU: Visa International Service Associaton.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoActually a recursive backronym, according to Wikipedia, but unfortunately {{citation needed}}.
