palpali kancha, I understand your delima, I too have heard that life in Canada is kinda tough. Try to seek some jobs in monstor and or canadian job site. If you have 2 yrs remaning in your h1b I would suggest you to seek other alternatives here in the US, I know its much easier said than done, but I would say flip every stones that you have to.

About your husband its best to go to college or try to find some consultants that transfers his h1b and try looking for jobs that will buy him extra time. and hopefully everything will return back to normal in the economy. I truely belive if you can survive 09 and half of 10 here things will get better.

All the best .
