Hi all including BCGuy,

I m originally from India and presently in Los Angeles working in a MNC as a Software Quality Assurance analyst (with a H1B visa)for the past 7 months. I've been looking to immigrate to Canada for a long time now but because of the recent changes in the NOC i think my profession( i fall under 2171) is excluded. I have five years experience in IT and I was wondering if there were any IT companies or cosultants who hired IT persons from the US? SOme of the recruiters i spoke over the phone to via Workopolis needed me to have a workpermit which i dont posses.

I know ALberta has a scheme for H1b's but it needs me to be a year in the US before i can apply for that.

Any ideas anyone especially BCGuy?

thanks

Radus
 
I answered your PM and by the way you should be happy to know 2171 is under the Alberta list and you dont need a job offer to come in under Alberta Strategic Stream,Welcome to Alberta and welcome to Canada.The Alberta list is separate from the 38 Federal list
 
Hi BCguy,
How can i check Alberta list please guide me.
Thanks and best regards.
