Would a Canadian law firm give me a work visa to go do biotech patent work in Montreal?
I am a registered patent agent in the U.S., but I do not have an advanced degree. I have searched thousands of genes with STN/DGENE and am one of the foremost experts anywhere with respect to Sequencce Listing Preparation. I have found it challenging to get a patent agent job here in the U.S. and I passed the bar 4 years ago!! I hear Canada has more respect for Patent agents than in the U.S. For example, they are treated as attorneys and can make partner in most law firms, whereas in the U.S. you are looked down upon for "just being a patent agent" and not an attorney. Do law firms in Canada recruit people from the U.S.? I know the U.S. tries to recruit people from Canada. Any advice you can offer, especially if you are a lawyer/patent agent would be appreciated.

A company can't give you a visa because only the government of Canada can do that. If you find a prospective employer they can sponsor you. Follow this link it will tell you what to do.
