Dear Canadian Business Leaders, We are delighted to inform you about an exciting new development in immigration policy that can greatly enhance your ability to secure skilled personnel from the high-tech sector in the United States. As of July 16, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has initiated a new program enabling H-1B specialty occupation visa holders in the U.S., and their immediate family members, to apply for open work permits in Canada. IRCC is offering open work permits valid for 3 years for current H-1B holders in any profession or job title. This means your company now has access to thousands of professionals in high-tech fields currently employed in the U.S., eager to explore opportunities in Canada. H-1B visa holders are a talent pool with a proven track record in thriving high-tech ecosystems. Their skills and experiences could provide your company with the edge it needs to accelerate innovation and stay competitive in a fast-evolving industry. These professionals present a golden opportunity for your company to diversify and strengthen its workforce. At Borders Law Firm, we recognize the immense potential this represents for your organization. As experts in immigration law, we have extensive experience in facilitating smooth transitions for international talent. We are ready to assist you in navigating this new immigration policy, ensuring you can efficiently and effectively attract H-1B visa holders to bolster your workforce. We are awaiting further processing instructions from IRCC. In the meantime, your company should begin to run employment ads in the U.S. to attract H-1B visa holders. IRCC has yet to publish the expected processing times for this new work permit stream, but our assumption is that open work permits for H-1B holders (and their family members) will receive priority processing at the Canadian consulates in the U.S. Our team of lawyers will guide you and the prospective employees through the application process. We also offer support services for the families of these professionals, enabling them to secure temporary resident visas and work or study permits. This new immigration measure is only in effect for one year, or until the IRCC receives 10,000 applications. So there is no time to waste. Acting promptly will ensure you can maximize this opportunity to bolster your workforce. Contact us to learn more at www.borderslawfirm.com. Back to all posts Share this post:

Neha K Borders Law firm - Devika OMG where do I start from.... so I got her number from my CA who I have been getting my taxes filed from last ten years. I was not sure what will happen to my mom's files becuase I had already tried four times before and everytime there was something or the other that happened and my application was not accepted... Devika has been my good luck, an angel in my life and a miracle believe it or not. I wish I could give you the details about why it was so so so important for my mom to get this immigration but unfortunately I can't share my personal details but I can tell you all one thing, that Devika and her team not only helped me with my mom's immigration case but also helped me with her super visa extension and all other obstacles we faced. I had no idea that my file can get approved so fast. Today I feel like my dream of having my mom here permanently came true all because of Devika.She is very knowledgeable, super patient, went out of her way to do, spent extra hours assisting me and completing this file. Always understood and heard my issues, with patience. I don't know how many times I cried with her and she always gave me hope and strength to be patient and wait for the approval. Honestly I am very impressed how she adds human touch to her immigration cases and treats the families with so much love and always been very professional as well. Devika is the best, she has an awesome awesome team. I can go on and on and on about her. I always suggest my friends her name and tell them about her services.It feels so good when I give her number to people in need of a good immigration lawyer, because in my heart I know that Devika will be able to help them with their immigration very well.She is the best Thank you Devika for being a great lawyer,a great human being and an angel in my life.

Charanjit singh 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 for my mother 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.
