Ask HN: Front-end engineering positions with Visa sponsorship UK/Canada?

2 pointsby employee123over 7 years ago
I&#x27;m a front-end engineer with about 4 years experience currently working for a big Co in Europe but looking to relocate to an English speaking country.<p>How easy&#x2F;possible is it to find front-end engineering positions in Canada&#x2F;UK with companies willing to sponsor Visa. I know Canada recently has a Tech visa program.

There is missing info.<p>Do you have a CS degree? Is it from somewhere that Canada&#x2F;UK would recognize?<p>Do you have any connections locally? It&#x27;s quite hard to &quot;get discovered&quot; by some kind of tech recruiter and convince a company its worth the 3 month hassle.<p>If you have friends though - it can be fairly straightforward. They go and tell their hiring managers &quot;We really need this guy&quot;. Many times - that&#x27;s all you need for an offer.
