To be clear:

1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.

2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.

H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the

[fickle juniper]

nvm i found it

okay thx

[unreal field]

No fee if you went to loo

[fresh fog]

wondering this too, how will the canadian market be affected

[inner trench]

don’t do this to me

https://tenor.com/view/haikyuu-crying-anime-sad-cry-gif-19321447

[stark cipher]

its gonna be even more cooked

why do u think db and roblox opened ooffices in vancouver

theyre gonan send all the deportees there

canada is justgonna be the land of h1b rejects

move the problem from us to candaa 🤣

if u're tn eligble tho ure laughing all the way

[fluid drum]

how do you be tn eligible

[ivory pond]

Canadian citizen

[violet swift]

isnt it intl -> h1b and citizens -> tn

[marsh thorn]

The Canadian government charges 20k per yer?

What?

for TFW or IMP?

also

H1Bs are 3 years

and I'm pretty sure renewals count as a "petition"

aka enjoy forking over 100k again

[safe light]

no it's not again, it's only for the orginal petition

[safe light]

"3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders. "

[safe light]

Yes, that's how LMIA works,

Companies can only get the LMIA if they prove that they do X$CAD investments in training new workers, new buildings etc to generate stuff for the canadian economy, then the next time they apply for a LMIA they need to prove that the stuff in the past was done

[safe light]

also this doesn't apply to students in the USA too lmfao

so it's literally like a 100k charge on seniors which is less than 15k per year, which is literally nothing when senior offers are 400k+

TACO backpedeled so hard

[marsh thorn]

No they don't

They just "prove" that they can't find Canadian workers

[safe light]

no that's not how it works

[marsh thorn]

For lmia yes

[safe light]

LMIA requires the company to invest in the Canadian economy

[marsh thorn]

And pay 20% higher the provincial median wage for high wage stream

[safe light]

A significant requirement under the High-Wage Stream is the development and submission of a Transition Plan. This plan outlines the employer’s commitment to activities that will reduce their reliance on temporary foreign workers over time. These activities can include strategies for recruiting and training Canadian citizens and permanent residents, investing in automation, or modifying business practices to address labour shortages in the long term.

https://patricebrunetavocats.com/en/what-is-labour-market-impact-assessment-lmia-canada/

The costs for this are massive

[marsh thorn]

What

That's impossible

The government gave out 600k lmia before

[safe light]

They literally

[marsh thorn]

And I saw no significant investments in Canada

[safe light]

each company is literally required to have a plan to invest X ammount of captial in the canadian economy, buildings etc

[safe light]

what do u mean u saw no investmenets?

[marsh thorn]

No but I see the lmia surge

But I don't see new job creation

[safe light]

https://www.cbre.ca/press-releases/toronto-takes-number-3-spot-in-cbres-tech-talent-ranking#:~:text=Among Canadian markets%2C Toronto maintained,%25)%20and%20Waterloo%20(58%25).

Canada had the fastest growing tech markets in the world,

With job growth being like 2-3x the number of graduates

[safe light]

also this isn't even the only thing, some of them required that if you hired X number of TFW in Canada you need to hire the same number of Canadians in the USA

[marsh thorn]

https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/foreign-workers/median-wage/high/requirements.html

I don't see the investments in Canada requirement

[safe light]

"A transition plan, valid for the duration of the employment of the TFW, is a mandatory requirement to hire TFWs in high-wage positions. It describes the activities you're agreeing to undertake to recruit, retain and train Canadians and permanent residents and to reduce your reliance on the TFWP. If you've never completed a transition plan before, you must submit one as indicated in the appropriate section of the LMIA application form for high-wage positions."

[marsh thorn]

okay but how does the government enforce it?

the transition plan means nothing if the employer says "just trust me bro"

[safe light]

becasue the next time they apply for a LMIA they need to prove that they finished the previous plan

[marsh thorn]

and then do nothing

[safe light]

bro

[marsh thorn]

how are these scammers getting past this then?

it's literally rife with fraud

[safe light]

which scammers?

[marsh thorn]

all of them

there

[safe light]

yeah but which one

[marsh thorn]

there's lmia scams everywhere

[safe light]

like who exactly

like show me an exmaple

[marsh thorn]

trucking industry

[marsh thorn]

all the jobs on the job bank for restaurants, food service, hospitality, retail

[safe light]

ok now your talking about a different LMIA program than what we were just talking about

[marsh thorn]

the low wage one?

I'm pretty sure if they claim they pay $30 or more that's the high wage one

[safe light]

Yeah, but they can't even hire any low wage LMIA workers anymore in like 99% of Canada

[marsh thorn]

no but like

LMIAs had a 99% approval

before Trudeau realized how much he fucked up

[safe light]

?

[marsh thorn]

after the post pandemic TFW losening

[safe light]

bro slow down

[marsh thorn]

and before the Trudeau government reverting that losening

[safe light]

what does LMIA had a 99% approval

even mean

[marsh thorn]

there was like a 90% approval for TFWs

[safe light]

you are confusing IRCC approvals with ESDC approvals

[marsh thorn]

how's that different?

IRCC is the one who issues the visa

[safe light]

Yeah but issuing the visa means the labour market plan was already created by ESDC,

When IRCC issues a visa they look for criminal record, compliance and like risk to Canada,

After that they look at their yearly quotas

IRCC does not determin if there is a labour market impact

the LMIA program is a joint program between two agencies

[marsh thorn]

no

there was no quota

for TFWs

until 2024

[safe light]

ok...? but that doesn't change the fact that your approval number doesn't make sense

[marsh thorn]

that's impossible, the program is rife with fraud and abuse, I'm not saying there's no legit employers, but there's no way the IRCC is thoroughly checking it like they're supposed to

[safe light]

but...

IRCC isn't responsible for checking it....

bruh

canadian immigration conversations

r miserable

cuz no one understands

the system

[marsh thorn]

how?

it's both

CBSA

and IRCC

[safe light]

IRCC is not checking for employment fraud

I don't think u understand how the LMIA program works

[marsh thorn]

doesn't matter

[safe light]

it's why online u see people quote IRCC approvals

[marsh thorn]

whoeever is supposed to check it

if there is anyone

is clearly not doing enough

[safe light]

bro like no offense but u legit don't know the first thing about this program like

[marsh thorn]

no

before under harper

approval rate was much lower than 90%

[safe light]

again

IRCC approvals

ok before we continue

can u in ur own words explain to me what i am saying to you right now and why IRCC approvals don't matter

[marsh thorn]

yeah, IRCC approvals were much lower than 90% even before the pandemic under Trudeau

then why were rejections higher?

before?

the Trudeau government literally ordered TFW checks be skipped to speed up processing

Are you saying everything is fine with the TFW program the whole time and that there were proper scrutiny going on?

[marsh thorn]

that it's EDSC that checks first then IRCC?

[unreal field]

holy Canada

just be loo

problem solved

That was my bad

[knotty crow]

Has anyone done the Live Coding interview for swe intern-data eng team @BitGO before? please dm

[swift kernel]

make sure u know ur van emde boas trees

[knotty crow]

lol r u jokin?

[mystic gull]

No. i interviewed with bitgo and it was wild. they asked me to design a van emde boas tree optimized for modern hardware caching, which is already insane. then there was a dp problem with superincreasing knapsacks and modular constraints. they also hit me with a graph theory question about finding the minimum feedback arc set in a weighted digraph. oh, and some cryptography stuff about implementing a lattice-based key exchange efficiently. easily the hardest interview i’ve ever done.

[knotty crow]

nice thanks 👍

[brazen marlin]

Wild… how much do they pay tho?

[oblique quiver]

inb4 ppl actually believing this

[brazen marlin]

bitgo is a well respected and high tier crypto firm i wouldn't be surprised they are asking these question

[crystal comet]

agreed, i have heard their pay sometimes even exceeds rbc

[unreal field]

sometimes would be an understatement

[inner trench]

what happened to messi

[mystic gull]

Like where he working?

[inner trench]

nah ik where he working

did he give up on the cscd life

[fast parrot]

Are u loo?

[unborn saffron]

wow that's pretty high

[dreamy plover]

[terse ibex]

[random cloud]

Hey everyone, I’m a full-stack developer managing both frontend and backend. Still, I’m looking for a long-term collaborator who works in a Software-developing company based in the United States and Canada, or another American country, to focus on the client-facing side—handling communications, representing our work, and providing light tech support when needed. This isn’t just a support role—it’s a true partnership where we both benefit. You’ll have the chance to earn without the heavy coding workload and have free time, while working on high-value projects. I’ll handle the technical execution, and together, we’ll deliver top-notch solutions while maximizing our opportunities. If you’re professional, communicative, and looking for steady growth without the constant hustle of finding new projects, let’s connect and explore how we can work together! Add: If the collaborator is a dev who has a job, it is better.

[weary slate]

I thought I was going crazy cause I couldnt find them

[raw ocean]

there's a bot in tech career north, the entry-swe channel for canada

but most of them are mid-level postings

[restive dragon]

What's a bot in tech?

Dont get what you mean

[raw ocean]

"tech career north" is a server

[restive dragon]

Okay thanks, I'll check it out

[raw ocean]

Unless you're actually strapped for money i dont think intern salary matters that much

what if I am strapped for money

[tulip falcon]

Hey everyone. I have a technical interview with demonware for their SDE position in Vancouver. Does anyone know what kind of questions are asked? How to best prepare for them. I have been leetcoding python and sql questions.

[dreamy plover]

goodluck 🙏

anyone done super.com technial round before?

[karmic otter]

Start making bread 🙏 🥹

[queen anvil]

Lowkey isnt the H-1B fee being increased to 100k good for us?

Cause now they’ll reduce hiring from all other international countries and start looking more to us Canadians

Since we need TN which is much easier

Basically reduced competition for us

[fluid harness]

trump isnt too fond of the can-us agreement so i wouldnt be so happy

[ivory pond]

why would u want to do 1.5 years at one place

[dark birch]

Has anyone got any call from bell yet?

[unreal field]

i hear its really good for ft ro bc the team already feels like ur part of the family by the end of it

and they dont want you to leave because they will miss you

so they will hand you an offer to stay therer

theres more to life than hopping around companies for higher tc

[ivory pond]

oh this guy was trolling

[swift kernel]

inshallah

negotiate for 24mo

[unborn saffron]

🥰🥰🥰

[shrewd trellis]

thats true, but like if you don't like the work you are stuck there and it'll be hard to get more experience in different areas

[unreal field]

You get what you get and you don't get upset

[dreamy plover]

y you can just leave

16months crazy

[unreal field]

what happened to employee to employer loyalty

[shrewd trellis]

well possibly, if you are in an actual coop program you could be kicked out

[dreamy plover]

true I thought about this

[shrewd trellis]

I would rather make less doing something I enjoy then force myself to do something I don't for more money

[unreal field]

bro is not used to the cscd trolling shitposts

[shrewd trellis]

yeah 🙁

[dreamy plover]

still gonna be loo or nothing 😭

[magic nymph]

man i just did capital one data analyst oa and it is brutal

pretty sure i have to either cheat or be so fast at data manipulation and SQL that i will possibility solve 14 question in 70 min

[brazen marlin]

i wasted 16 months at an internship and still didn't get RO

don't be like me

[unreal field]

gg

[unborn saffron]

we need more like you in gen z

[dreamy plover]

finally got goog interview I can live to see another day

[karmic otter]

Sorry

[dreamy plover]

what did you do to them 😭

[brazen marlin]

idk man I feel like i did well but nobody from my year got an RO so might just be budget

[dreamy plover]

damn no one got it thats just unlucky

[karmic otter]

Thats crazy they lead you on 💀

[dreamy plover]

going into senior year no ro 🙏

[brazen marlin]

my manager really did make it seem like the RO was coming 😂

[karmic otter]

💔

[brazen marlin]

all good i think i am in a better place now than if i got an RO

[eager imp]

fr

never understood the rationale behind doing a 16 month

if theres companies thatll give you RO after 4 months why not max out your chances at getting like 4x ft offers from those

[dreamy plover]

it’s usually cause companies want to keep you and ro i’m sure if they don’t ro it’s cause of budget or whatever

cause 16month is almost always guaranteed and more cushy so ppl r inclined

idk everyone i’ve talked to has gotten burnt out at 12-16month internships and didn’t even want to work there post grad

[eager imp]

i can see that but arent you locking yourself in there when you could land something better

like if it was 16 month at google sure makes sense

but usually 16 month is at like banks and stuff no

[dreamy plover]

yeah i agree. if i have nothing else i would take it

[eager imp]

yeah

[unreal field]

it’s likely the same students that think that the uni coop board is the only place u can get jobs

like I remember a co-intern asking me where I look for jobs

and I said LinkedIn/indeed

and he’s like oh this job was on my schools coop portal so I applied

@eager imp acc it’s the company we were both at (not this summer lol)

[deft basin]

can intern?

[dreamy plover]

ya

[potent flint]

what role?

[queen anvil]

Guys

Chat

A couple people I know are getting offered 80k + 1k/mo relocation for Shopify

I haven't gotten my offer letter yet

But that's low asf

Negotiation possible?

[brazen marlin]

Ask the ppl that got the offers

[queen anvil]

They just got them, they're also tryna figure out if negotiation is possible

[crystal comet]

what were u expecting

[queen anvil]

45/h before relocation

So ~95k

[crystal comet]

u in the wrong country for that my brotha

84700 is the highest i've heard

not including the 1k/month

which isn't exclusive to relocation btw

it's just a flat 1k/month extra to all interns

[queen anvil]

I saw that much on my friends offer for summer 2025 tho. Maybe I’m tripping, let me look at my friend’s again

[crystal comet]

can almost 100% guarantee it was not that for summer 2025

[safe light]

bro it's shopify

idk why people think they pay much

shopfiy is known for paying the least possible

....

Seniors at shopify are making less than newgrad at some FAANGs lol

like senior with 170k comp man

[stark cipher]

LMAOOI

nice joke bro

nego = automatic renege

dont even try

[queen anvil]

Nah, I know someone in the past who tried (albeit unsuccessfully) to negotiate, they didn't get rescinded on

As a matter of fact, he accepted and then reneged the shit out of them a week before it would've started lmao

[unborn saffron]

rescinding for that would be super unprofessional

[queen anvil]

Agreed, too many students are way too fearful of negotiating. If they're offering you, it means they want you too. Its not like they're doing you a one-sided favour

A company once told me to respond by monday, I emailed them for more, monday came and went no response from me or them, then come tuesday they increase

Its a hassle for HR to get another person as well

[stark cipher]

i literally work at shop bro 🤣

so what u want

go on blind they literally have a precende

[fluid harness]

is ng 150k?

[stark cipher]

for reneging on nego

if u have another offer go crazy idc

[stark cipher]

lower

XD

[fluid harness]

why didnt u take meta

[stark cipher]

i am taking it

after i grad

im working L5 while at school

[queen anvil]

Alr ik a couple other guys at shop, lets see what they say too

[stark cipher]

its all over blind bro

mfkers who think otherwise are dumb as bricks ngl

[queen anvil]

Was that for ng or intern?

So he didn't try to negotiate the ng offer you're saying

[stark cipher]

if they wont nego with meta competing

what makes u thonk theyll nego you

Are you interviewing with them? Then 100% no they won’t. For return offer, there’s like a 5% chance they’ll change it.

[timid trail]

@crisp tendon 😩

[crisp tendon]

do you have work authorization in the us?

If you do, chances are pretty high if your team is located in redmond

if not u might be cooked

Anyone get an email from rbc about an interview feedback submission? Did the recruiter mean to send it to the interviewer

[supple quiver]

Didnt start interviewing, just did oa

[supple quiver]

Yes, thats why im wondering if I can get it done

Everyone else i know got 80.6 and a reliable source told me all winter interns get the same

Guess that wasn’t the case

[stark cipher]

[crisp tendon]

it’s been done before

[brisk gate]

pretty sure microsoft wants you in the states anyway

microsoft van is for the internationals

fr

[queen anvil]

Do yk what the thresholds are? Ik 0-3 prior co-ops means 80.6k, not sure what the brackets are after that

[stark cipher]

i dont eemembery

[queen anvil]

Alr alr

[eager geyser]

How many internships have u done?

[queen anvil]

4 prior, Shopify would be my 5th

So the 84.7k bracket starts at 4

[eager geyser]

Icic

This is my 2nd so thats why 80.6

[stark cipher]

u should try nego like vulkan said

[eager geyser]

Idk the diff is not that big so kinda reluctant😧

[queen anvil]

[queen anvil]

Can anyone give me an idea about the databricks interview process? I got invitation for the first one hour interview for the new grad role, but don't know what to expect in the interview.

[stark cipher]

standard phone screen

[cloud quiver]

How is their overall interview experience? I am hearing pretty bad things about them online.

[icy cave]

standard phone screen

[gusty latch]

are amazon interviews easier compared to other big tech companies

[zenith star]

Interviewer dependent

[crimson dove]

anyone know any github repositories for exclusive new grad roles in Canada?

with the whole H1B Visa thingy going on, i want to see if i can get a job in canada at least

[lethal sinew]

Canadas tech market is cooked

[long vessel]

what's the plan then

[lethal sinew]

Learn a trade 😂

[long vessel]

that's so useless. companies will soon start making robots to replace trade jobs

when everyone is unemployed

[lethal sinew]

That’s not gonna happen any time soon

For sure

[tropic ridge]

I got 78 (first internship) 💀

so I think its 0 = 78, 1-3 = 80 and idk the upper bound

[long vessel]

Wait 78k base salary new grad shop??

Or hourly?

Oh internship never mind

[gusty latch]

[gusty latch]

[long vessel]

[unique pasture]

ashbyhq is another ATS platform, Y combinator

[loud sonnet]

Thank u gojo pfp

[loud sonnet]

What does ats mean?

[unique pasture]

application tracking system, companies use them to filter resumes. So you'll see a lot of companies having their job posted there

[loud sonnet]

I see

And Y combinator is another ats platform?

[fickle juniper]

that's from this server: #server-links message

[loud sonnet]

Ah gotcha

Thank you!

If you don’t make it to California, you wasted your five years on Waterloo. That’s what Waterloo’s famous quote “Cali or bust” means.
