Canadian Immigration Strategies for Cross-Border Tech Companies

In recent years, Canada has become an attractive destination for immigrants, and with that, Canada has created several immigration programs benefiting the recruitment of foreign nationals to work in Information Technology (IT) occupations.

In this e-book, we review the options for foreign nationals to work in Canada in IT occupations, including:
•    Business Visitor Entry;
•    International Mobility Program (LMIA-exempt) Work Permits; and
•    Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) (Global Talent Stream (GTS)).

This e-book is not intended to be a comprehensive dissertation of all immigration options. Instead, we intend to provide high level information about some of the more common paths available to successfully bring a foreign national to work in Canada in IT occupations.
