I was on H1B and moved to Toronto as a PR. If you want to start your own startup, move to Canada. It's a great option. Even if there are ways to start a startup in US, visa renewals/visa stamping are unnecessary stress.

I don't know about VC access but you shouldn't have any issue with finding talent in Toronto or Vancouver. And, there is an option to recruit remote employees too.

Thank you for the reassurance. Are you working for a startup? Or a big company? How is the general vibe around startups there?

I'm in Toronto, remotely working for a startup in US. I don't know much about the startup scene in Toronto. If you need info on startup related stuff, do get in touch with Mars - https://www.marsdd.com/.
