This is the best video and thanks for being so transparent. I was born in one of the backlogged countries(not india), so it looks like the process needs an extra 2 years to get to the priority date. Does this mean the only feasible way is to convert TN to H1B and renew after 3 years. For example if the whole process takes 5 years then you need to renew H1B once to increase the timeline as it wouldn't be possible on a 3 year TN.
@khangaroofinance5 күн бұрын
Thanks for the comment I appreciate the kind words. Before I applied for my I-485 I renewed my TN for 3 years, at the same time that I applied for my AOS, I also applied for my EAD, which I got in like 4 months. Now I have my tn which is still valid for 2.5 years as-well as my EAD which is valid until 2029. That was the case for me and my other friends who are on TN did something similar
@shawnfriedman5375 күн бұрын
@@khangaroofinance I see, so its possible to renew TN before the I-485 because most of the other filings are done by the employer which won't interfere with the renewal. Seems a bit risky but it should be doable for all of the backlogged countries except india. The lawyers probably knows all the risks and answer it better. Thanks for the video I don't see any other canadian youtubers cover this topic.

What do you think of the penalty of withdrawing from HSA when you move back to Canada? Heard it's useless to keep it.
@khangaroofinance6 күн бұрын
Hey thanks for the comment, I’ve heard that there has not been a solid determination on HSAs and bringing them back to Canada, and it’s a bit of a grey area / tricky from a tax point of view. I can’t remember if I covered it in the video, but i don’t contribute to my HSA despite having a match for this reason. Ofc this depends heavily on your long term plan of where you’ll be, so if you have a good match it might be worth it to contribute.

It’s really unfortunate that the US based all of this on your country of birth.

I have no experience with the h1b but for TN; I’ve heard many companies will help with the visa, if the company is small enough they might require you to do your own legal processes. You can reach out to a lawyer that can help you with further questions, you can get a consult for a couple hundred for half an hour. I would also google “tn visa laywer” or “Canadian USA visa lawyer” something along those lines.

Now, here are the traps of TN1 visa: You are tie to one employer Your contribution to SS will be for an American, unless you complete the 40 credits, because if you have enough to qualify for Canadian Pension plan the SS administration won’t join the Canadian to provide you benefits So if you are approaching retirement and don’t have the 40 credits you are in a risky situation, more considering companies are reluctant to give work to foreigners near the retirement age You are not entitled to Medicare at 65, unless you have the 40 credits in SS, another very big disadvantage. In conclusion TN1 is not very convenient for Canadian professionals….who benefit the most are politicians and the Americans, because they get your expertise By the way, the “American dream”is over, new young professionals are choosing other countries: Spain, France, Italy, etc
@khangaroofinance2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the insight on the SS Credits. I know they are transferable but I did not realize that you needed 40 credits ( which is 10 years of work ) in order to transfer to Canada. A lot of the points you bring up are very valid for people who are closer to retirement age, but for younger professionals, I think that the TN visa is still a great option that should be considered.

I remember doing some loose research on car ownership its ends up being around $1/km driven when you factor in depreciation, maintainance, repairs (which are a matter of when not if), gas and insurance which is pretty scuffed. The average cost of ownership on a yearly basis was then around $10,000/yr which I thought is crazy but I guess that's only 10,000 km/yr at $1/km so that makes sense. Wild stuff tho was happy to ditch my car as soon as I could, just gotta figure out how to get the gf to work without one and we're set. Also not just Uber Eats but Uber rides is crazy too the model is purely just based on drivers not knowing how to accurately account for the cost of car ownership which is soooo exploitative.
@khangaroofinance2 ай бұрын
Yeah I got the same loose calculations when looking into a car + I hate driving so it worked out good for me 😂😂 I would also extend my dislike towards regular Uber as well, but I feel like ride share has become so integrated that it’s needed at this point. Before we could call a taxi or whatever but the ease of use of ordering an Uber is unmatched in comparison. Until taxis match the same level of convenience I don’t think that we’d see a fall in ride share apps. But I will agree that ride share is also super exploitative, the only reason it was cheap before was because of Vc money. Now that Uber has to turn a profit prices are getting to the same levels as taxis, but the drivers are getting exploited. I feel we’re still early for the delivery services though and we can nip early
