Study Abroad: Canada Work Permit Innovation Stream Pilot is Now Open

IRCC announced a new 2-year Innovation Stream Pilot via the Global Hypergrowth Project. This Innovation Stream Pilot will allow certain Canadian companies to bring in highly skilled foreign workers on work permits without an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). In addition to this, family members of these foreign workers are eligible to open work permits allowing them to work for any employer in Canada. The Innovation Stream is scheduled to continue for two years and so will end on 22nd March, 2026 until and unless there are any changes.
