Canadian officials provided additional guidance on requirements for digital nomads.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Canada announced a Tech Talent Strategy last year to attract highly skilled foreign nationals to live and work in the country. Along with promoting Canada as a destination for digital nomads, the initiative made improvements to the startup visa program, developed an Innovation Stream under the International Mobility program to attract highly talented individuals, returned to the 14-day service standard for work permits under the Global Skills Strategy and created a STEM-specific draw under category-based selection to issue additional invitations to apply under the Express Entry program. The Canadian government’s strategy was to introduce new measures and improvements on existing programs to help businesses in Canada thrive in a competitive landscape.
BAL Analysis: The Tech Talent Strategy, and specifically the creation of the digital nomad program, are designed to attract and retain highly skilled foreign nationals to live and work in the country. Additional clarifications and guidance regarding the requirements for the digital nomad program are a welcome confirmation for those seeking this status in Canada.
