Study Abroad: Canadian Government Seeking High-Skilled US Talent to Relocate to Canada

Canadian Government is recruiting high-skilled foreigners working in the USA to move to Canada. The successful program met its target of 10,000 applicants within the first day.

The programme launched a special work permit for foreign workers who have obtained an H-1B visa in the USA. The number is 600,000 coming mostly from India and China. Also, the program’s 10,000 quota was filled on the first day of the week as per the Canadian Immigration Minister. 

As per Fraser, Immigration Minister, the H1-B visa has a unique feature built into it. If you don’t find alternative arrangements for work within 60 days you are not permitted to remain in the USA. 

Additionally, the H-1B visa programme allows US companies to employ foreign workers in sectors like engineering, technology, and medicine. The visa is usually issued for three years and is renewable. 

For instance, they have 60 days to locate a job and be sponsored if they are dismissed or laid off from the US employer that sponsored them.

More Information about Visa Programme

In Toronto last month at the Collision tech conference, Fraser promoted the Canadian work permit for Americans with H-1B visas. Workers in the technology industry from all around the world attended the conference.

For the accompanying family members of US H-1B visa holders, the Canadian work permit offers alternatives for either a study or a work permit.

Furthermore, the program was slated to go into effect on July 16 and last for a year, or until immigration officials received 10,000 applications.
