The Canadian Government has launched new immigration pathways to recruit foreign tech talents into the country’s digital ecosystem. The Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, announced this during the Collision 2023 event held on Tuesday.
He noted that the new pathways would make it easier and faster for foreign tech workers and entrepreneurs to come to Canada and contribute to the country’s digital economy. Fraser said part of the strategy was the development of an “innovation stream” which would provide open work permits for up to five years for highly skilled workers in “select in-demand occupations” and for a similar duration for those employed by companies identified by the government as contributing to the country’s innovation goals.
“We’re also going to issue open work permits for three years for them and their families to be in Canada while they wait for their applications to be completed,” Fraser said.
