A quick Google search gave me the impression that it isn’t very easy to get a work visa in the US even though it will be sponsored. Is this correct, and do you have stronger requirements for non-US applicants because they’ll be less likely to actually be able to work for you? (I’m completely unfamiliar with the visa system)
We don’t control the visa process and can’t ensure that people will get sponsorship. We don’t expect sponsorship requirements to be a major factor for us in deciding which applicants to move forward with.
Thanks for the response. I understand OPP doesn’t control the visa process, but do you have a rough sense of how likely a successful applicant would be to get a visa after being sponsored, or is it a complete unknown?
Unfortunately the likelihood is still pretty unclear to us at this point, and the available options vary a fair bit by applicant, depending on which country they’re from, whether they recently graduated from undergrad or graduate school, and other factors.
