Canada's first-ever immigration tech talent strategy targets newcomers who will rise as leaders in up-growing technology.

 

The Tech Talent Strategy is collaboration between start-ups and business communities created on July 16, 2023. The open work permit stream targeted international workers working in the United States with H1-B specialty occupation visas.
