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.

Jehiel Cabrera If you need a Immigration Law Firm that you can trust, Borders Law Firm is for you. We retained Devika and her team to work on a misrepresentation case. We asked them to help us in a very short period of time (less than a week) but they did an impeccable, impeccable job. They were willing to work and reply to our questions early and off hours and show their dedication to help out. In 2 weeks, we were able to get our work permit. Immigration issues are scary and its easy to feel hopeless but with the right people and resources, there will be a solution. I strongly recommend Devika, she showed a lot of care, very professional, very technical and very smart. You will not regret hiring her, her work is worth it, more than priceless! Special thanks to Hillen, for going above and beyond, making sure that our response letter is accurate and flawless.
Ranjana Vashistha It was an exceptional experience with border law firm. They take time to understand client situation and offer the best option. Devika is well knowledgeable lawyer and easy to connect with. John took care of my case and went above and beyond my expectation. He was always there to answer my question. The most responsible lawyer I ever meet, to meet my deadlines, I know he worked many evenings and weekends. I strongly recommend this law firm. In fact no one should go to consultant. My each and every penny spend with this firm is worth more. I am thankful to Devika and John for helping me and my family for our immigration needs.
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.
Chenia Lobo Highly recommend Borders Law firm. Their service was great, extremely professional and always timely. I never had any problem throughout my whole process. So pleased with Jenny & devika and all the work they did.
