Global Skills Strategy (Global Talent Stream): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Global Talent Stream helps Canadian companies fast-track work permits for highly skilled foreign workers.
The Global Talent Stream is a fast-tracked process designed to help businesses bring highly skilled foreign workers into the country more quickly.
Who it's for
This program is designed for companies that need to hire highly skilled talent from abroad to support their business operations.
What you get
The primary benefit is speed. If you qualify, your work permit processing is fast-tracked, typically taking about two weeks.
What it costs you
To use this stream, your company must develop and submit a Labour Market Benefits Plan. This is a formal document used to outline how hiring these workers will benefit the local economy.
The catch to know
When you submit your Labour Market Benefits Plan, you must commit to creating new jobs for Canadian workers as part of your hiring strategy.
