Hey guys! I'm a founder and CTO of a Buffalo, NY based startup. I graduated last year and I have been working on the startup ever since. I came to the US on a B1 Visa, which allows me to set up the business here but not earn a salary. So I have been working from India (my home country) as a contractor. I travel occasionally to USA for meetings etc. It gets really annoying because of the massive time zone difference, I'm not able to work as efficiently. We are pretty early stage so I can't get an H1b and since I don't have an entity in India, not eligible for l1 visa either.

Can anyone tell me if i have any other options in US/Canada as Canada is just an hour away from Buffalo. I looked at startup visa in Canada but I don't have any investors in Canada hence not eligible for it.

    What about obtaining a Canadian citizenship?

    I'm 95% certain it'll be easier and quicker than a US citizenship.

    @Stuxnet It is easier. But for Canadian Citizenship I have to be a permanent resident first. And I'm not aware of any visa that I'm eligible for that will allow me to get a PR.
