"When the H-1B cap is reached, large companies like Google often look to L-1s instead, moving new employees to their Canadian offices for a year to make them eligible."

Huh. I knew Microsoft did this in Vancouver but hadn't heard about Google also using it although it makes sense. As a Canadian I'm not sure if the country really benefits from it, although I guess it boosts the Canadian offices.




I can imagine social security and taxes collected can benefit


I think the Google location is Windsor, but I know they have an office in Montréal and probably Toronto as well.


I haven't heard about a Google office in Windsor but I know there is one in Waterloo.
