Canada has launched its first-ever immigration tech talent mechanism, aiming to create fresh employment prospects for African citizens.

This initiative comes in the wake of Germany passing an immigrant law to attract more non-European Union workers. 

The talent strategy was unveiled at the 2023 Collision Conference in Toronto and incorporates new measures and enhancements to support Canada’s business sector in a competitive environment.

Streamlining Highly Talented Individuals’ Immigration Process

Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, announced the development of a specific immigration stream for exceptionally skilled individuals in the tech industry. 

This stream will enable these talented professionals to work in Canada, even without a job offer from a tech company. The objective is to attract the world’s brightest minds and foster innovation within the country.

As part of the talent strategy, Canada will implement a digital nomads strategy, allowing individuals employed by foreign companies to work in Canada for a duration of up to six months. 

These individuals will be encouraged to reside in Canadian communities, contribute to the local economy, and seek job opportunities during their stay. If successful in securing a job offer, they will have the opportunity to remain and work in Canada.

Emulating Successful Practices from the US Tech Sector

Canada has been closely monitoring the tech sector in the United States, which has witnessed layoffs. Recognizing the potential for talent acquisition, Canada seeks to capitalize on these opportunities by offering a favorable environment for tech professionals. This includes creating avenues for 10,000 H-1B visa holders from the United States to work in Canada, commencing from July 16.

Addressing Demographic Challenges

Canada’s ageing population and declining birth rate have resulted in a shrinking labor force. To counteract this trend, the country has intensified its efforts to attract a large, young, and vibrant immigrant population by implementing immigration-friendly policies. In 2022, Canada welcomed 437,120 Permanent Residents (PRs), an increase of nearly eight percent compared to the previous year.

Canada’s innovative immigration tech talent mechanism reflects its commitment to becoming a global leader in emerging technologies.

 By creating specialized immigration streams, implementing a digital nomads strategy, and actively seeking tech professionals from the United States, Canada aims to bridge the talent gap and ensure the realization of innovative ideas. As the country continues to prioritize immigration-friendly policies and set ambitious targets for welcoming newcomers, it endeavours to solidify its position as a premier destination for global talent.
