Not the original poster, but also Canadian. IIUC TN visas don't really require sponsorship, just a job offer in one of the covered fields.

Getting UX right is a lot harder than people realize for several reasons: - You have the usual BigCo problems in software with prioritization and incentives and pressure to deliver new features - Front-end work is less mathematically comple
