This is outstanding, things are speeding up I hope the foundation is as solid as it seems down here for Canadians making the move. Canada on the other hand…..

EB-3 visas are quick as long as you are Canadian born. Mine was less than 4 months. Citizenship doesn't matter, place of birth does for priority date. Canadian born applicants are current, so processed immediately.Just another canuck wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 4:27 amThis is precisely what I would like to know. I believe Atlas was doing EB-2's which also take 18+ months. H1B is gamble too.

And it's still a lottery. If there EB3 it can be a lot faster.

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
Atlas is E3 only like negative g said, but I know for a fact that Eastern has done EB visas in the past. If they still are I'm not sure......Just another canuck wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 4:27 amThis is precisely what I would like to know. I believe Atlas was doing EB-2's which also take 18+ months.

I have heard through the grapevine that this may be changing shortly.

Can’t wait for us all to go South, and leave selfish Canadian operators and unions behind.BE02 Driver wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:21 pm C'mon over guys! I can confirm, that for once, the grass actually is as green as it appears from over there!!!!

Agreed. I’ve been in the U.S. for 7 years now. I’ll never work in Canada again.BE02 Driver wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:21 pm C'mon over guys! I can confirm, that for once, the grass actually is as green as it appears from over there!!!!
I’m looking forward to seeing Canadian airlines scramble when there’s a mass exodus to the South. I spent too many years of my life working for peanuts in Canada.

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
That’s the general consensus from pilots and ames alike. I made the switch many years ago now and I’ve only done a hand full of contracts in Canada since. Canadian aviation is in terrible shape.Stinky wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:02 amAgreed. I’ve been in the U.S. for 7 years now.

A little bit of hiring going on at JetBlue.

We can't jump into conclusions real quick. The down vote for the AC MOA is just the start for better financial gains next year. We can all stay here and crave for better as long we consider each other as one

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
Correct me if I’m wrong, however EB-3 visas are sponsored by an employer? So you would have to find an airline going along with this visa process?

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
Has anyone done the interview and want to discuss/exchange info?
I recently had an interview and was wondering if anyone has figured out how they intend to proceed with visa sponsorship?
The ad has been updated to specify its a TN visa. From my understanding a TN visa is only eligible for professions that are on the NAFTA list (pilot is not one of them). They couldn't tell me much about that side of things, only that I would be in touch with their attorneys if successful.
Feel free to send a PM.

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
I doubt it's the TN visa. If that's the case we are about to see a bunch of US airlines hiring Canadians. If I remember correctly, back when I was a software developer you didn't even need sponsorship to get a visa with the TN. All you needed was a letter of offer to present to the immigration officer at the airport along with your education credentials.Heisenberg666 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:14 am Has anyone done the interview and want to discuss/exchange info?

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
I agree it shouldn’t be a TN visa. Have a look at their ad though. TN visa is stated on the bottom. I guess I’ll find out soon when I hear yay or nay.
