Original Summary

Hey everyone, ​Looking for some grounded, real-world perspective from people who work in Canadian tech sales or have navigated relocation recently. ​Quick background on me: ​Role: Senior Account Executive / Full-Cycle B2B SaaS Sales ​Experience: 6+ years in outbound prospecting, technical deal execution, and multi-stakeholder closing. Worked with US-based companies remotely. ​Performance: Consistently sitting at 150%+ quota performance ​Location Goal: Toronto / GTA (open to 100% on-site or hybrid) ​I’ve been reaching out directly to founders and sales leadership at early-stage startups in Toronto. I'm willing to cover my own relocation costs, but I require work permit/LMIA support to physically move to Canada. ​I know the current market in Canada is tight and HR at mid-to-large companies almost universally enforces a "local hires only" policy for sales roles. ​Questions for founders & leaders: ​Is direct LMIA sponsorship for a proven outbound AE at an early-stage startup even realistic in this market? ​Would I be better off targeting US/multinational SaaS firms in my local market first and pushing for an Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) to Toronto after a year? ​Are there specific sectors (e.g., health-tech, SMB SaaS) where Toronto founders are actually open to sponsoring senior closers who are willing to do on-site/field sales? ​Appreciate any candid feedback or advice from people on the ground. Thanks!   submitted by   /u/Sensitive-Bad6937 [link]   [comments]
