Gw 29M, status PR canada currently kerja IT (lulus S1 di sini terus kerja dan jadi PR).

Status keluarga:

• Ortu cerai.
• Nyokap tinggal di austria menikah dgn orang sana.
• Bokap stay di jakarta (pensiun).

Sebentar lagi gw eligible untuk apply WN disini dan kepikiran untuk apply karena:

• Tiap kali gw mau ke eropa abis 5-6 juta hanya untuk biaya schengen karena embassy luar negeri rata2 pelit kasih durasi visa lama, padahal gw udah PR.
  • Kendala untuk ke US karena alasan visa alasan yg sama.
• Ga ada rencana untuk balik (dan kerja) dalam waktu dekat dan menengah.
• Setelah research, warisan berupa tanah dan properti (hak milik) bisa di warisin ke anak EX-WNI.
  • Dgn catatan harus di jual dalam 1 tahun (dan tertulis dalam surat warisan/will).

Salah satu faktor kenapa gw pikir dua kali:

• Gw punya adik currently kerja di Jakarta.
• Nyokap masih 50-50 akan balik ke indo ato enggak jika suaminya retire.
  • Tapi in the next 5-10 tahun sih kayanya ga bakal balik dulu karena masih kerja juga.

Gw kepikiran untuk apply warga negara sini (lepas WNI "legally") lalu apply visa diaspora jikalau suatu saat gw ingin for good ke indonesia dengan alasan apapun itu, including kerja.

Gw gaada plan untuk ingin punya aset properti atau tanah di Indo.

What do you think about my plan ? any complications?

I have been thinking of applying to CAF either as a Sig O, CELE O, or other relevant trades after I'm eligible for citizenship (2 years after PR due to time spent in the country) -- I should have my citizenship AOR by late next year, allowing me to submit application into CAF of which would likely take another year or so to process.

I am in my late 20s with a Canadian CS bach degree, currently working at one of the big banks as a dev. Been getting disillusioned with tech in general and a bit concerned about the future due to massive trends towards more outsourcing.

However, I'm concerned on the medical side of things:

• I've been on daily statin 20mg for the past 2 years due to abnormally high cholesterol for my age and background (doctor says its likely genetics). The condition has been stable since last year since I started the medication.
• I have flat feet as well -- I heard it can be disqualifying. Wearing orthotics does solve the issue.

Do you think I stand a chance due to my medical or should I just forget about joining ?

I'm currently a 6yoe mid-level .NET (C#) developer working for a large insurance company on the Prairies.

For both personal and career reasons, I'm looking to relocate to a larger city (GTA, GVA, or Calgary).

Over the last 8 months, I've been applying for higher paying mid-level and senior roles at banks, insurance companies, and other medium-to-large non-tech organizations (avoiding startups). So far I've landed 6 interviews (including 2 internal ones), but none have resulted in an offer. The number of interviews are much lower than what I would expect but probably inline with the current market.

One option I have is requesting a transfer to my company's office in Toronto

Would it make sense to seek a transfer to Toronto first and then start looking for a new role after 6 months? Or does being physically located in Toronto not really make much difference when applying for GTA-based companies nowadays?
