Meet Kutlu, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with more than 12 years of experience in Data Science and Machine Learning Engineering.

Until recently, Kutlu was based in the US. In the final year of his STEM-OPT visa, he was unsuccessful in the H-1B lottery. Though he was unable to stay in the US, he didn’t want to give up his career trajectory in North America. With MobSquad’s help, Kutlu relocated to Calgary and is living his North American dream, while continuing to grow his career.

“As someone who has seen the ups and downs of the North American technology industry, I can unequivocally say that MobSquad is a shining beacon of hope in a sea covered by a grey fog of instability and indifference.”

This year, MobSquad Software Developer Duong Do traveled from his home in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Banff, Alberta. Along the way, he captured some stunning views of the Canadian Rockies!

Born and raised in Vietnam, Duong moved to the United States to pursue his degree in Computer Science. Facing work visa issues in the US, Duong needed an alternative: “Fortunately, MobSquad helped me quickly obtain my Canadian work permit, which enabled me to provide software development services to a US company from Canada.”

Since arriving in Nova Scotia, Duong has continued to excel in his career as a Software Developer. Last year, MobSquad supported him on his path to Canadian permanent residency.

Every newcomer to Canada has a unique experience resettling upon arrival. A recent Chicago Sun-Times article details the experience of MobSquad engineer Khayyam Zubair.

After spending eight years in the US facing work visa uncertainty and unable to visit his family in Pakistan due to visa restrictions, Khayyam found greater stability when he relocated to Canada. Within one month of arrival, Khayyam received his Canadian permanent residency.

At MobSquad, we strive to provide our software engineers greater certainty to support their professional and personal growth. We are proud to be part of Khayyam’s story and his Canadian immigration experience.
