I am very interested in developing a tech career in the US. I have roughly 5 years of industrial experience and my bachelor degree is in physics.

I am currently working as a software engineer in the UK (I'm from Hong Kong) for the past 2 years and am actively considering the following:

1. Getting a Masters degree in US then work in US with STEM OPT and apply for Green Card through employer; or

2. Moving to Canada, become a citizen in 3.5 - 4 years then apply for TN status and work in US, then try to find a good timing for Green Card application

If my intent is to settle in the US, which route would you recommend me to go through?

Thank you so much for your time!
