Come to Canada! There is a young and booming tech industry here and our immigration laws are very friendly to skilled workers.

I'm a Canadian who was on an H1B working in the valley for the past 6 years working at VP Eng. level for various technology startups. This year, I gave that up and returned home.

It was quite clear over the last year that the US is closing it's doors. They no longer want immigrants working/living in their country. Read the comments in the article. Look at the changes coming from the Trump administration. Even crossing the border you get a sense that you are not welcome.

Insanely hard to get a job there without Canadian education or experience. Way tougher for people from India and China, since Canadian recruiters have no idea of the quality of Universities in these places.
