Hi there,



I've been in IT business for quite a while, but could never understand the
business logic. Or may be such thing doesn't exist so there is nothing to
understand?



So the thing that I don't understand is the reason for a US company to hire
Canadian contractors. If a US company has decided to hire a foreign worker
then it seems to me to be logical to assume that they would want the best
value for their money. So my question is why Canada?



Is 42hr the lowest rate around? Is it lower than Russian, Chinese or Indian
contractor would charge for coding of the same thing? And who, may I ask,
would likely to respond to such a posting? Waterloo-educated Canadian or an
immigrant from Russia, India or China who has a Ph.D. or masters in Math or
computer science and has been delivering pizza since arrival to Canada? Once
he gets Canadian citizenship he probably would like to return to an
IT-related work, rather then continue delivering pizza? So whom this US
company will hire? The same China, India or Russia's born and educated
people who hadn't work in their field for the past three-four years due to
immigration to Canada. So what is the gain? What is the purpose of the whole
exercise? Why not to hire directly from China, India or Russia or, even
better set up a branch there to do development? Do Canadians charge the
lowest rate around?



Please let me know what do you think. These questions being unanswered don't
let me sleep at night. Hopefully with your help I'll get some answers.



Thanks.

Advertiser.
