President Trump’s IMmigration Ban is Affecting Canada’s Tech World
Mr. Kashani is a Vancouver-based entrepreneur who works for the venture capital firm, Pear based in Palo Alto, California. He was hired 3 months ago.
The not-so-funny thing was that his visa issued just a day before Mr. Trump was to sign the so-called order.
So for him, the only way to get back home to Canada was to drive.Ali was on the road for two days straight!
Kashani is just one of the many in Canada’s tech community who had to struggle to get back home.
CEO payments company Kash, Kaz Nejatian twitted that he was working on getting the names of tech workers who have H1B visas that had been refused entry into USA. According to him, over 10 CEOs could not enter America.
