If you are and immigrant (and statistically speaking, most likely to be Indian or Chinese), then you may consider UAE for work.
Safe, clean streets, no SJW or pride rallies, far lower living cost (compared to major American cities), zero income and capital gains tax and if you get a job at an international bank or hedge fund, they will match London, New York level compensation.

H1B visas have been a hot topic for a while. There’s a good chance other visa types slide under the radar.

All the more then given the sorry state of Canadian economy, but up to you.

Definitely acknowledged the fleeting Canadian government and economy but there’s a lot of family and friends. I just hope Alberta separates lol
reply
That's quite radical to say, are you serious or is it a serious possibility?
My impression is British Columbia is very progressive and aligned with Ontario. So how is it even feasible getting separated while sandwiched between the Eastern and western provinces?
reply
I’m serious but it’s probably a low possibility. Economically tho the province has resources to be a local powerhouse.
Could make economic deals with USA or 51 state to gain access to ports if needed.
Saskatchewan could also hypothetically join and int interior of BC is similarly fed up with Ottawa.

It works ok for Alaska

It does, but Alaska is not an independent country.
I know we are in the realm of wild hypotheses, but did you have in mind Alberta as a nation? Or some kind of statehood as part of the US?
reply
Alberta has the money from its oil industry
reply
Sure, so which political party or group is advocating for it (Alberta nationhood)? If they at least appear to be something like Texas or Florida (free market leaning, no regulation, trade barrier and preferably, Bitcoin as the currency, because sure they would want neither the loonies nor the greenback) then I am happy to donate some Sats to their cause!
