Myself and my wife are Canadian PR’s and are on a H1B working for global companies in Seattle. We are planning to relocate to a suburb of Vancouver in the next one month to keep our PR active but will have to commute regularly to Seattle for work. I need some help in making a decision on this and would appreciate your help with my questions.
Is there someone who is in a similar situation. If so, can you please contact me at [email protected]? I would like to connect to ask a few questions and learn from your experience.
My major concern is regarding crossing the US border frequently. Once I take residence in Canada and if me/my wife have to travel every other week to the US, if we say we reside in Canada but work in the US, is that a concern? Will they say now that you are living in Canada, you dont need a H1B. My wife and I plan to travel together on Mondays and return on Thursdays.
Reg. this traveling from Canada, our managers are ok with it but for some reason our companies arent. But we plan to proceed anyway. Is this a concern?
Just wanted to see if there is someone in this group who has experience with this or who currently with such an arrangement of living in Vancouver and traveling for work in Seattle. I would like to connect with such folks directly. Really appreciate if someone could help.
Have two residence works. Weekdays in Seatle and weekends in Vancouver. You can do some early in the Monday morning to drive to Seatle, which makes your stay in Canada 4 days per week (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon), which is more than enough for RO
Hi @rohit.joshi - I am an Indian and planning to moving to Bellingham too. Therefore, wanted to check, are you staying in Bellingham or any other city? Is there any other US city close to WA-BC border which has substantial presence of Indian community? Please let me know.
