💼 Canada’s Tech Talent Strategy: A Gateway to Opportunity

“This is a moment to attract enterprising, highly skilled individuals who would have previously pursued H-1B visas. Canada will present a clear and compelling offer.”

✈️ Work Permits: Two Main Routes

1. Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

   • Requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

   • Includes the Global Talent Stream, which fast-tracks tech hires with a two-week processing standard

2. International Mobility Program (IMP)

3. LMIA-exempt

4. Includes the Innovation Stream, launched in September 2024, offering LMIA-free permits to workers hired by eight designated employers under the Global Hypergrowth Project

🇺🇸 H-1B to Canada: A Fast-Track Option

In July 2023, Canada introduced a streamlined work permit for U.S.-based H-1B holders. The program hit its 10,000-application cap within 24 hours—proof of massive demand.

🔄 Intra-Company Transfers

Multinational firms can relocate executives, senior managers, or specialists from global offices to Canadian branches with ease.

 Pathway to Permanent Residency (PR)

Tech professionals can transition from work permits to PR through Canada’s Express Entry system. Eligibility requires meeting criteria under one of three federal programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program

• Canadian Experience Class

• Federal Skilled Trades Program

In 2023, Canada introduced category-based selection draws to prioritize in-demand sectors. STEM professionals benefit from lower CRS cut-offs, making PR more accessible.

🚀 Ready to Make the Move?

Canada is not just watching the global talent shift—it’s acting on it. If you're a tech professional impacted by the H-1B fee hike, Canada could be your next big opportunity.
