🇨🇦 Canada Signals Interest to Woo U.S. H-1B Visa Seekers
🧑💼 Mark Carney Responds to U.S. Visa Changes
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney says the country may create a new program to attract skilled tech workers affected by the U.S.’s new $100,000 H-1B visa fee. He hinted that Canada could offer a “clear path” to those looking for better immigration options.
💻 Canada’s 2023 H-1B Program Was Popular
In 2023, Canada offered 10,000 work permits to H-1B holders. The spots filled in less than 24 hours. Experts say a similar program could see even greater demand now.
🛠️ Experts Say Canada Must Act Fast
Groups like Build Canada urge the government to act quickly. However, they warn that Canada must fix slow processing and limited permanent residence options.
📄 What’s Available Now?
Current options include Express Entry, Global Talent Stream, and Provincial Nominee Programs. No new program has launched yet – but many are watching closely.
