There is a good chance that Canada will reopen the H1B open work permit program. There is no official announcement from Canadian immigration on it at this time though. As per various news published in Canada, this was a pilot program and the government is looking into how many people actually move to Canada once approved for the work permit. In fact, many applicants who might rejected due to incomplete documents may open up the existing slots for new ones. We will update as soon as we hear anything about it.
