Hopefully this is alright to post here.

I live in the US and am trying to move to somewhere around the Ottawa area to be with my partner and her daughter, but I am having a lot of trouble trying to find jobs that would sponsor for a work visa.

I do IT sysadmin, AWS engineer, Linux work, but can’t seem to find places that are hiring or will sponsor. Is this something that is very hard to find or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I have 2 kids and am trying to move there to keep them safe and retain their bodily rights as they get older.

If anyone knows anything or has any ideas for help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you

  • I looked into FSW and went and took my language test. Unfortunately, my lack of college really screws me over on points for that program and basically kills my chances of being accepted through that.

    CUSMA looks interesting, but unsure if I’d qualify. Plus, it reads like I have to have a job offer already, and I can’t seem to find many, if any, places that will sponsor.

    Thanks!
