I was just wondering how many people have gotten their h1 but no job as of yet. the market looks pretty bad and it seems like it will be hard to get a job sometimes soon. No one can spend their entire life on bench!

So, the back up would be to apply for canadian residency. I am on the process of doing it. I have gathered almost all of the documents now. I am sure there are lot of people who want to do it.

I am starting this thread to talk to people who have started their process or are thinking about it in hopes that if we all talk to eachother and talk about the process, may be we could do it ourselves and save the lawyers fee. I have done a lot of research on this and I have found a lot of information. But it took me weeks to find these things. If someone could tell me these things, I would know it all in about 30 mins.

If someone is doing the processing, please drop a line or two to give us some knowledge about the process and different steps within the process. Lets save everyone some time and effort and money (no lawyer=save money).

thanks!
