悲惨消息：H1B被LAY OFF， 去加拿大哪个地方最好？[请求]

[US_HELL_168]

今天收到LAY OFF 消息， 再也不想在美国呆了。 有加拿大绿卡。 不知道哪个城市
对IT技术人员最好？ 虽然老婆还有工作， 但这种日子受够了。 打算自己先去，
但加拿大没有什么朋友。 能力很强， 在美国工作4年。 想问问有类似经验的人几
个问题：

1。 加拿大哪个城市比较容易找到工作？
2。 车还没有PAY 完， 怎么把车运过去？
3。 有没有可能拿到UI？反正我是不想在美国呆了。
4。 如果再也不去美国， 交上的SSN税能不能要回来。 这些年工资很高， 大概这
方面自己就交了2万多块， 加上老婆的大概有4万美金。

加拿大哪也不好找工作
新车过境要打税，除非你是第一次LANDING
不可能有UI，你又没在这交税。

在美国工作了四年还能保住加拿大绿卡吗？

I got the Canadian card this year and landed a couple of months ago. No tax problem for my car, because I filled the form when I landed.

I apllied last year when the company started the first round, now it is the third.

Also I'd like to know the situation of Ottawa. Is Ottawa better than Toronto? I am really a good programmer. I regret that I refused the offer of a smaller company and went to this big company early last year, because at that time many small companies went broken. Do not laugh at me, I am really tired and just want to retreat to a quiet life.

I suggest Ottawa, where we live. It is nice,beautiful samll city.
Toronto might have more opportunaty. It is hard to say and depend on yourself.

 

[seeing]

You can ask the moving company to move your car. The fee will be expansive than person's.

TORONTO比这儿机会多不少

人生往往如此，就像5月份我做出了离开OTTAWA这个选择，但现在知道是错误的了。人生常常如此阿！ 开心地活着吧！

知道是错误的了?(-1)x(-1)=+1,美孤选择another错误then you will be fine

You may apply for EI here as the two countries have a treaty. I don't know the detail. but you can search "Canada human resource EI" in google.ca and you can get the info. If you cannot, let me know. talk to them before you come here.

Anyway, i suggest you calm you down for a while, and then make your decision. Canada is not a good place to find a job, any kind of job I mean.

现在被LAYOFF的太多,20年经验的ARCHITECTURER比比皆是.找工作只有靠NETWORKING.
而且关系还得铁.VOLUNTEER都难啊.

If I were you, I would stay in the States. No kidding.

To be very honest with you, if you can't find a job in the States, I can't see you have more chances here. The job market(say IT related) in Canada is fierce.

In Ottawa,only the government is looking for people otherwise it is very hard. Have you serached out at west (ie: Alberta, BC. etc.)?

Good luck.

I am happy to see the warm reponses, but please do not assume that I am an inferior person. Actually I just too confident to my skills and just ignored the immigration limits. When the year is good, I jumped a couple of companies and in year 2001 I thought it is time to keep with a big boat. Every jump I have to wait, and now what I heard is 4~6 months you have to wait for the transfer. Even in this company, the reason for layoff is not the technical side. The big company politics. I were doing technical design in the team and was titled as principle engineer. But hard working can not prevent you become a victim in politics. All my peers under the same manager are whites and project managers. When the layoff starts, I thought I am fine, since I am the only engineer to oversee the project, wrote all technical document while other 4 people just working with project scheduels and most people got laid off today are project managers. The company is located midwest and the only biggest employer in the city. It is difficult to hire people because they have to pay big relocation. On the other side, it is hard to find a job here so guys will try their best to stay in the job even they contributed much less and could be got rid of.

I have two options. The first, finding a job in US, which i am sure that i can, but not the location I can pick. I have to wait again and likely, small companies. But in US, small companies always have problems here and there you have to worry for the company survival. If I could settle in Canada, my wife can unite with me. I made too many mistakes in the back years, so your comments are really appreciated.
