The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
This. I work for US company and we have people from Canada working for us (remote). In my 2 previous jobs, we also had people from Canada and even interns from Canada working for us. If the company is remote-friendly, hiring somebody from Canada doesn't seem to be a big deal (I'm sure there's some paperwork to be done but looks like it's not too bad if I see Canadians hired all the time). If you can get into Canada, the chances of getting a job is the US are much higher, and as far as I heard, Canada's immigration policies are easier to deal with than in the US. Also, Canada has its own IT companies, though I don't know how the pay is there, probably worse than in FAANG.
