Hey,
That is the best solution for this time. It seems you should move to Alberta, because of your current situation. I am also planning to do so. I am on H1B since last October, and I am on project now. Will they accept like us who is working as H1B for less than a year? Please let me know. When did you apply and when is it approved? I mean how long does it take from applying to approving process? Thinking that we will be following you..... and you guys will be able to suggest us, whether we should come there or not
