Good news for tech talent! Foreign nationals may now qualify for an LMIA-exempt work permit if hired by one of eight leading Canadian companies, mainly in the tech sector. Earlier this month, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced a new work permit under the Innovation Stream.
The Innovation Stream is part of Canada’s Tech Talent Strategy, aimed at driving economic growth by attracting skilled professionals. 🌐 This strategy allows companies participating in the Global Hypergrowth Project (GHP) to hire talent faster without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
🛠️ What does this mean for you?
If you’re a foreign national working in tech, you may have the chance to secure a job with one of these industry-leading companies and gain a work permit that’s both LMIA-exempt and employer-specific. This opportunity supports Canada’s vision of boosting job creation, supporting small businesses, and driving economic growth.
