O Canada, Can You Let Me Work?
One of the biggest impediments in moving to Canada is the stress of finding a new job. What if you could have the best of both worlds? What if you could work for your US employer and still enjoy the immigration freedom Canada has to offer? Sounds too good to be true right? Apparently not.
In today's episode, we are joined by Marc Pavlopoulos, the founder of Syndesus. Being a former Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Marc has seen first hand the negative impact that the H-1B lottery system has on the STEM talent in the country. Companies scramble to find alternative options when their employees have been unsuccessful in their 3rd and final attempt at the lottery for the coveted work visa. Having the unique advantage of understanding the Canadian Immigration system, he immediately saw a solution that would help companies retain their talent and as a result Syndesus was born. By partnering with the employee's existing employer, Syndesus is able to relocate the employee to Canada on a work permit becoming the link between the employee and their existing employer.
Tune in to hear about Marc's early days in Silicon Valley and his passion for leveraging tech to solve problems. You'll walk away understanding how Syndesus works and how this is a great option to pursue if you're considering a transition to Canada. At the end of the episode Marc has a discount for all Area 51 podcast listeners. If you ever choose to work with Syndesus in the future, this is definitely something to take advantage of!
