Canada is bolstering its technology sector by attracting top global talent through innovative immigration strategies. With the Tech Talent Strategy, new and improved programs aim to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in technology.

New Programs:

Innovation Stream for International Mobility Program (IMP): Launched in 2024, this stream enables Canadian tech companies in the Global Hypergrowth Project to hire foreign talent without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

Enhanced Programs:

Start-up Visa (SUV): Canada is expediting the Start-up Visa process, focusing on applicants with committed capital and offering open work permits for up to three years.

Global Skills Strategy (GSS): After pandemic-related delays, GSS has returned to two-week processing times, allowing faster hiring of skilled foreign workers.

Digital Nomads: Canada is also welcoming digital nomads, who can live and work in the country for up to six months without needing a work permit, offering new flexibility for remote workers.

Canada’s commitment to innovation is clear, and these programs offer exciting opportunities for tech professionals to contribute to the country's growing technology landscape. If you're in tech and looking to make Canada your new home, now is the perfect time to explore these avenues
