If you have a good degree and solid work experience in the US to back it up, I don't think you would find it difficult to get a job in Canada. You may find the winter a bit harsh though you may already be used to that deppending on which part of the US you cureenlty reside in. That may be a topic of discussion for another day. I have seen mainly two kinds of complaints from Nepalis in Canada.


1. From those who apply directly form Nepal and come to Canada as landed immigrants: This group usually have a local degree and local work experience and in most cases completely unfamiliar with the work culture and style in North America. Most folks end up in facotries and other physical jobs. They get very frustrated with the system as their degrees and work experience verified by immigration for PR application are absolutely worthless in their newly adopted country. While I can sympathise with this grievance, it is a market driven economy we live in. Employers seek human resources from what they are already familiar with, eg., local markets and probably from other western nations.


2. People moving from US: Regardless of their professional background, I find them very dissatisfied with a lot of things in Canada - Tax rates, relative lack of opportunity to work under the table for cash, weather, price level to name a few. Given the get an opportunity, most of them eventually move back to the US.
