Canada's Opportunity: Attracting Tech Talent Amid US Visa Changes
Hey there, tech enthusiasts! 🌍 Are you considering a move to Canada? Recent developments in US visa policies have opened the door for talented individuals like you to find new opportunities north of the border.
Prime Minister Mark Carney recently highlighted that Canada is looking to attract those affected by the US H-1B visa fee hike. With the new fee of $100,000, many skilled workers in tech may find it challenging to get their visas approved to work in the US. However, Carney sees this as a fantastic opportunity for Canada to step in and welcome you!
So, what does moving to Canada mean for you? Starting with a work permit could be your first step towards permanent residence. Canada offers various pathways, such as the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the International Mobility Program, making it easier than ever for skilled workers to relocate.
Recently, initiatives like the Global Talent Stream have been introduced, streamlining the hiring process for foreign tech workers. Within just two weeks, you could receive your work permit!
Plus, Canada has launched a new work permit under the Innovation Stream for those with job offers from select employers. If you're considering a move, now might be the perfect time to take the leap!
