Its in a month. I will have an interview and then need to take an English test (reading, writing and speaking) as well as a civics test (government and US history stuff)

Wait I thought you were American born of Middle Eastern descent.
Or Meditarian of North Africa?
~Forgive me if I am wrong.

Well, that is awesome!
I to this day haven't been to Canada, but I am close enough that it comes to me!

I mean not automatically. You apply for your green card which is a giant stack of paperwork and documents and pictures you have to gather. Then after 3 years of marriage you can apply for citizenship but its another giant stack of paperwork and such. Plus interviews, biometrics and tests. We got lazy with applying for it because its so much work and we didnt want to spend thousands on an immigration lawyer.

I dont know any of that stuff. I was reading the questions and I dont know most things. Ive always hated history so I dont even know anything about Canadian history. But I bought myself a study guide and flash cards and will try and memorize everything. My husband will help quiz me.

At least you can take comfort in knowing more about America than 99% of people born in America afterwards.

Yup I was an engineer before and its very easy to secure a TN visa but its a non immigration type of visa so you either have to marry a citizen (which is what I did) or apply for an H1B then get a green card from there.

Oh you were born in Canada. I did not realize that.
What part of Canada?

Also, I don't know what a TN Visa is....but I still don't have an enhanced license.
I've never been to Canada, but I've been through at least three border crossings.
~That was just NY and USA being extra.

I love my Canadian neighbors...but their air can fuck off right now.
It's freaking cold now, and it's all their fault!!

I dont really understand the need for a civics/history exam. Guarantee over half of all US born citizens wouldnt pass it.

Ohhh...

That was a while ago. Now it just feels normal.
I feel like it was suspended due to Covid for a bit...though I felt it was Canada's way of keeping us crazy Americans out for a bit.

I was an EE but honestly it was a bad experience for me. For one I was never really all that passionate about it but I was pushed by my parents who are middle eastern and wanted at least one engineer kid to brag about to people. I was good at math and physics so I was chosen as tribute and basically forced into it.

Then I hated it but also experienced so much sexism and discrimination that it made me hate it even more. I thought of going the PM route or sales engineer but ended up sort of just trying recruiting engineers instead and that clicked for me and been doing it ever since. Its fun because I can follow what my technical candidates are saying and know exactly how to match them to the right role and my hiring managers love working with me for that reason. I cant code so I wont pretend I can sniff that out but I know enough to know if a candidate is bullshitting about their technical depth which I will let the interviewers know so they can dig deeper on tech screens. And Im usually proven right.

Im entirely jealous. I would give up a nut to get US citizenship but Im perpetually stuck here with Trudy taking everything away.

My cousin married a TAMU girl and fast tracked his way down there, so hopefully when Im in Arizona in the spring I can do the same thing with an ASU girl lmao.

Yeah thats one thing I like about my job. I get to advocate for my candidates. Especially when theyre minorities. Ive worked with teams on making sure their interview panel wasnt all white dudes and that the interview process is the same for everyone. Ive given interview trainings as well on how to minimize unconscious bias. Ive fought for some candidates that aced the interview but for whatever reason we were going to turn them down. Ive given candidates offers over what they asked for because they were clearly underpaid, especially minorities and women. I feel like I can make more of a difference on this side of the house.
