Hi redsquirrel, after going through the requirements for Staff UI Engg, I feel I can be a strongly value add to the team. Are you open to hiring remote from Canada (Pacific Time)?

Yes, I'm aware of that and really excited! Although, after having lived in India for so long, I don't really mind the absence of accessibility (life in permanent hard mode here for wheelchair users), and it's not a key driving factor for me.

Thank you, will drop you a mail

Sure, that will be great. How to email you?

I have a job offer from Microsoft in Vancouver and might move there after the pandemic ends. I am Indian citizen residing in India. The main challenge however is that I am disabled (quadriplegic) and I would be needing a caregiver to travel with me to Canada. I understand that there used to be a caregiver visa, for Canada, which was discontinued back in 2019.

So my question really is, is there a way in which I can bring a caregiver from India to Canada? I know one option is to hire a caregiver from Vancouver itself but it's really going to be difficult, because of the language barriers and the understandings. They are an important part of my life and I cannot function without someone who I can completely trust to live-in with.

Another option would be to take the caregiver along with me on a visitor or tourist visa, but in that scenario, they are not allowed to work in Canada.

I am really looking for solutions here and I don't want to give up on this amazing opportunity of migrating to one of the most amazing countries in the world with high standard and quality of life.
