SUMMARY:H-1B Contingency Planning – U.S. and Canadian Options
DESCRIPTION:As the FY 2024 cap season nears\, uncertainty looms over the heads of thousands of specialty workers while many businesses contemplate the very real risk that they will lose talented workers who are not selected.

SUMMARY:Back Up Options for Those Who Didn’t Make the Cap Registration – US Options
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately every year we deal with multiple cases involving individuals who don’t get accepted into the H-1B Cap and it is important to have a back up plan for your lawful status. Managing Partner\, David Brown\, spoke in depth about the options available to individuals who have not been accepted. Don’t miss this important talk to better understand the options available to stay in the U.S. \n[Spoiler – many of these options are options regardless of an individual’s situation and so can be used by many others who aren’t in this situation. Ultimately this is a good primer on visa options available to individuals who are running out of time/may need a new status to rely on.] \nFor your convenience you may access recording HERE.

SUMMARY:H-1B Cap Contingency - Think Canada
DESCRIPTION:As a follow-up to our February 1st discussion concerning contingency planning for those not selected in the lottery\, this talk will focus on the Canadian option. Whether a US and Canadian company or just a U.S. company\, Managing Attorney\, Clinton Green highlighted how clients can leverage immigration options in Canada to provide continuity for those U.S. workers who run out of runway because of an unsuccessful H-1B cap season. As a progressive skilled worker destination that shares time zones with the U.S. Canada has become a natural option for displaced U.S. workers who are stymied by the artificial H-1B Cap. \nIn addition to learning about the different immigration options for hiring workers in Canada and key recruitment strategies for starting operations or scaling existing operations in Canada quickly – we highlighted how Brown Immigration Law supports businesses to support Canadian permanent residence within two years of entry\, or the alternative of finding a way back to the U.S. after a short stint in Canada. \n*This webinar is offering SHRM Professional Development Credit. \nFor your convenience you may access recording HERE.
