| Oct 12, 2022 at 16:26 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | @Bananasplit: By law, both US and Canadian universities have to prioritize citizen/pr applicants. In actual practice, it makes very little difference at almost all universities. It's not that hard to make it look like someone is "obviously most qualified" or even "the only qualified applicant" well enough to satisfy the immigration bureaucrats. | |
| Oct 12, 2022 at 9:07 | comment | added | Bananasplit | @GregMartin thank you, that is encouraging! Would there be any suggestions on how to minimize challenges and make it even more mild-er? | |
| Oct 12, 2022 at 9:05 | comment | added | Bananasplit | @AlexanderWoo thank you for the info. I guess its more of a matter whether i have a better cv than local candidates in general. Canadian universities seem to prioritize canadian citizen/pr applicants though. Understandable but sad as a foreign applicant :( | |
| Oct 12, 2022 at 0:56 | comment | added | Greg Martin | "Never" is of course hyperbole.... While it presents some challenges, I'll at least observe that your situation is the very mildest kind of gap-away-from-academia situation I can imagine. Hopefully that encourages you that your applications will be considered seriously. | |

| Oct 11, 2022 at 17:36 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | A visa should not be an issue in the US. Universities are almost always able to sponsor H1B visas for international hires, and it's rare for this to be a factor in hiring decisions. Note universities are not subject to the annual quota on H1B visas. I believe it is similar in Canada. | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 16:13 | comment | added | Bananasplit | Thank you for your comments. Your first comment provides somewhat relief to my anxiety. Also, i do realize that us/canada are big places. Luckly my partner is able to hold remote work as long as he is in canada (so i can go for most areas within canada) or california in US . But other areas are still being considered. Problem is i do not have a Perminant residency and will require a visa in both countries (for at least the next year or so) which will limit my competitiveness in job applications | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 15:46 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | I am worried you might not yet understand that the US and Canada are geographically large countries. Also, for historical reasons, many major universities are in remote places where there is little employment other than the university. My university is 130km from the nearest small city and 400km away from the nearest major city. I wonder if availability of employment for your partner is going to constrain you to a very small number of potential jobs. | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 15:40 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | Especially in the humanities but also in the sciences, there are far more highly qualified people than permanent positions. This makes it unlikely for anyone to find a job regardless of what is on their CV (superstars excepted). As I understand it, business is one of the few academic areas where there is actually a reasonable balance between the numbers of qualified applicants and available permanent positions, so what you hear in other fields may not apply. | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 14:11 | comment | added | Bananasplit | Thank you for your suggestion. I could definitely ask, but it is highly unlikely that my institution will allow a leave at my level (unless its a severe medical issue). Also, our relocation decision was quite sudden and we plan to leave in Feb. Would universities accept visiting professor applications at such a short notice? (Im curious and just asking, please correct me if im wrong- the few that i did see seemed to work on a "pool" basis where they contact you if they have a spot, which is assumed to take some time) | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 13:26 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Could you take a leave of absence (or an early sabbatical) - not everyone returns from those? Can you find a university to be a visiting professor at for the duration? | |
