If I am a Canadian citizen but I don’t have a computer science degree, is my only option to get H1-B?

And can I remotely work for a US company from Canada, given they don’t have a Canadian office, and I would be paid to a US bank account. Would I still need a visa in this case?


Question 1: No, there are a few TN occupations that don't require a degree and the O-1 doesn't require a degree. Question 2: No, you would not need a visa; U.S. immigration doesn't reach beyond the borders of the U.S.


I wonder if it is because of how its promotion package works. A middle manager thinks up of a product and executes in it. It launches, the manager get a promotion, and then it gets kill for not getting enough users. By then the manager got their pay raise and no longer needs the project.


This is what happens when everyone is trying to do busy work to make themselves look productive and less likely to be laid off.


Taking it a step further, this is what happens when the monetary authority's mandate is maximum employment and not maximum production. We're optimizing against efficiency.
