Canada is known for introducing several new policies and simple immigration laws. Canada has observed a rapid increase in skilled workers moving to Canada in order to secure a permanent job. Canada is known to whole-heartedly invite new talent from across the world. The country has some simple yet incredible immigration laws that allow many people to immigrate to Canada easily and get a work permit.
Canada has introduced the “Global Stream Talent” that allows Canadian employers to expedite foreign workers to fit in occupational demands. The Global Stream Talent began in 2017 and there are many workers who choose to move to Canada for a better job. This Strategy allows foreign workers to get a work permit within 2 weeks. This has increased the number of skilled workers moving to Canada by at least 75%. The rapid increase was observed between the years 2017 and 2019.
The Global Stream Talent is the fastest pathway for immigration as the person gets the work permit within 2 weeks. This helps people securing a permanent job and a better life in Canada. According to a study the Canadian employers have committed to creating more than 48,000 jobs and more than 12,500 paid co-op positions as they dedicate over $113 million in skill development and training.
Global Talent Stream applications are considered to be processed under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). The TFWP is a collection of work permit streams that manages to invite new talent from across the world to Canada on temporary work permits to fill specific labor needs. The Global Talent stream is said to be the wing of the TFWP specifically subjected to highly-skilled workers in specialized occupations. It helps in prioritizing everyone including the new workers with a lasting yet incredible experience in engineering and tech-related fields.
However, the GTS has become popular as the US decided to diminish the work permit laws to a lot of extents. The increase in popularity of GTS is due to the aggressive and stricter immigration laws in other countries. The Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the federal ministry is responsible for processing applications to the Global Talent Stream has managed to interests several skilled workers and attracted new talents to Canada from all across the world.
Moreover, Canadian employers have used this stream to hire approximately 24,000 highly skilled foreign workers since its launch in 2017. The Global Talent Stream was made permanent in March 2019 in Canada.
