Reply to comment by BadBunnyYonaguni in [OC] Canada’s top 10 Sources of Immigration by Country of Citizenship in 2022 by datasciencerookie

Ive lived in both and im not a citizen of either country… Canadian immigration is wayy easier than US immigration.. Canadian immigration if you have enough education and work experience you can get enough points to immigrate… the US is almost impossible unless you are extraordinary enough to get H1B sponsorship or have US citizen family members that can sponsor your green card… the reason I moved from the US to Canada was because I couldn’t stay in the US and i know many people who work in tech (mostly from India) who did the same..

If you’re from India you’ll have a much harder time in the US than most people because Indians saturate their quotas very quickly every year.

I suppose the perspective matters. For an educated person (in an in demand field), immigrating to Canada is pretty easy, as you say, but immigrating to the US is difficult. But for an uneducated person, immigrating to Canada is basically impossible, but immigrating to the US is possible through family sponsorship.
