June 27, 2023 11:04 PMCanada has launched new immigration pathways to recruit foreign tech talents into the country’s digital ecosystem.event on Tuesday, Sean Fraser, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, said it was the country’s first-ever tech talent strategy.
An additional benefit of the programme includes employer-specific work permits for up to five years for talents set to work for a company identified by the Canadian government as contributing to its industrial innovation goals.Holders of the H-1B specialty occupation visa in the United States will also have the opportunity to apply for a Canadian work permit, and study or work permit options for their accompanying family members.
Only principal applicants, and not their accompanying family members, will count toward the application cap.“We’re enthusiastic about the ambitious goals we have set in immigration because they aren’t just about numbers — they are strategic,” Fraser said. “I’m grateful for the collaboration of the tech, start-up and business communities, who have provided valuable insight to develop this strategy. Having a fast and flexible approach, one that is broadly supported by Canadians is truly Canada’s immigration advantage.”
