Government launches work permit for foreign workers with H-1B visa in US and meets target number of applicants in just two days

Lower pay doesn’t work for everyone if theycan’tt pay their bills

I doubt high-skilled tech workers are worried about being able to pay their bills.

The bills are lower though

I understand where you’re coming from, but we’re taking about having a really high paying job in the US or a high paying job in Canada. The types of jobs getting H1-B visas are high paying tech jobs.

Things are also more expensive than you might think in the US. And there always seems to be a lot of social pressure to spend more money in the US - more so than Canada in my experience. So in a lot of ways, you could be better off in some places even if you have a lower paying job.
