The Government of Canada has announced a new stream of its temporary foreign worker program which aims to streamline labour market impact assessment process so high-growth Canadian companies can attract the skilled foreign workers they need.

Part of the Canada’s Global Skills Strategy, the Global Talent Stream is set to launch June 12. It will allow companies applying for workers to use a new, pared-down labour market impact assessment program.  Other elements of the Strategy include:

  • Establishing a two-week standard for processing work permit applications (and temporary resident visas when applicable) for highly skilled talent;
  • Dropping work permit requirement for short term, highly-skilled work and brief academic stays.

Companies that apply for workers through the Global Talent Stream will have access to a new, streamlined application process that help guide eligible employers through the application process and development of the Labour Market Benefits Plan. There is a promised service standard of 10 business days and eligible workers could have their work permit applications processed in 10 business days.

Devika and John were excellent. They understood how this process would change my life and helped me get to the US. John was extremely kind and thorough. When my employer in the US ended up trying to take advantage of me, they helped me transfer my visa to a new employer and had so much empathy for my situation and now I have a job in California that makes me so happy while helping others. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to my status going forward.

I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by the Canadian Immigration law firm, particularly Attorney Andres. From the outset, their dedication to resolving my Canadian immigration matters was evident. Attorney Andres exemplified professionalism and empathy, dedicating ample time to understand my situation during our appointments. His communication skills were exemplary; he not only actively listened but also ensured clarity by summarizing our discussions and outlining the next steps via email promptly. Moreover, Attorney Andres’ profound knowledge of Canadian law was evident throughout the process, enabling him to navigate our various immigration matters effectively. His thorough analysis revealed potential roadblocks, prompting him to proactively engage with government agencies to obtain necessary details, all without incurring additional costs. The firm’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction sets them apart. I highly recommend their services to anyone navigating Canadian immigration complexities. Thank you, Attorney Andres and the entire team, for your unwavering support and expertise.
