#39 - Visas, Work Permits, and What HR Gets Wrong with Andy Semotiuk

In this episode of The State of Work Today, I sit down with Andy Semotiuk—veteran immigration lawyer, Forbes contributor, and former UN correspondent. With over 40 years of experience and more than 10,000 clients helped, Andy unpacks the realities of U.S. and Canadian work visas, free trade immigration options, and the role immigration plays in closing critical labor gaps—especially in healthcare and tech. We dive into the TN visa under USMCA (or NAFTA), employer sponsorship, and the often-overlooked legal nuances that can make or break a cross-border move.

Whether you're a professional looking to work abroad or an HR leader trying to hire global talent, this episode will leave you smarter—and a little more confident.

—a practical guide to money, motivation, time, and balance for career starters.
