A comment on YC will hold interviews in Vancouver for founders who can’t get US visas. Parent comment
For a Canadian, Waterloo might be ok.
For most Americans, it would be like moving to Alaska.
I tried to hire into Waterloo, and for Americans, Canada in general is a really tough sell.
We brought in some Americans, most of them kept their homes in wherever.
We hired a bunch and let them live wherever, they flew in every few weeks.
It was far less than ideal.
That said, it might be better than many places in the US - but this is where California has such a massive advantage.
