Tech worker sponsorship
How to apply for the Global Talent Stream in Canada.
Sponsor foreign tech workers in as little as 3 to 4 weeks using the Global Talent Stream.
The Global Talent Stream allows eligible Canadian companies to hire foreign tech talent in as little as 3 to 4 weeks. The Canadian government started this program to help companies in the booming Canadian tech sector and it has made the process of hiring foreign tech talent faster than ever.
Why GTS
Why hire using the Global Talent Stream?
There are some obvious reasons for using the Global Talent Stream (such as speed and a lack of experienced tech talent in Canada) as well as:
- The Global Talent Stream processing time can be as short as 3 to 4 weeks
- Accessing an amazing untapped market of talented tech workers from around the world who are eager to move to Canada
- Creating a more diverse workforce within your company, proven to improve overall performance
- Increased employee loyalty from foreign workers you have sponsored
