Skilled workers will receive their Canada work permits and Canada visa applications processed within two weeks beginning June 12, 2017 as part of a new Global Talent Stream in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Global Talent Stream: 2 Week Canada Visa Application ProcessingThe federal government wants to help high-growth companies bring in the talent they need quickly by slashing the processing time for a Canada visa application from six months to just 10 business days.

Although the new stream has been months in the making, it could not come at a better moment for Canadian companies looking to benefit from Donald Trump’s USA immigration crackdown across the border.

Once the fast-track Canada work permit is up and running, those skilled workers thinking about moving to Canada will become able to make it happen in two weeks. 

A key element of the Global Talent Stream is that registered employers will need to commit to creating jobs for Canadians and transferring knowledge to Canadian workers.

“This will result in timely, responsive, and predictable service that enables companies to attract top talent to scale up, create good middle-class jobs at home and remain globally competitive,” the federal government press release states.

The Global Talent Stream is part of a broader Global Skills Strategy to directly help Canadian start-ups thrive. Read More at http://bit.ly/2r4XjSu !
