In general, computer employees have the skills and expertise that make it simple to qualify for federal and regional economic immigration programmes.
Tech employees are targeted by specific immigration schemes such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and provincial programmes like the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS). The following are some of the other immigration programmes:
- Federal programs
Tech workers are prioritized in Express Entry programmes, particularly in certain Express Entry-linked provincial streams. One of the three most popular occupations receiving an ITA, according to the most recent Express Entry annual report, is tech workers.
- Global Talent Stream
The Global Talent Stream (GTS), which is part of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) programme, was inaugurated in 2017. Work permits for temporary high-skilled workers are processed within two weeks under the GTS.
- CUSMA Professionals
Citizens of the United States or Mexico with job offers in certain professions may be eligible for a work permit under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). This is a unique programme for Canadian firms who hire foreign workers, and it does not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
The CUSMA Professional work permit covers 63 different occupations. Computer engineers, graphic designers, computer systems analysts, and technical publications writers are examples of technology occupations.
- Intra-Company Transfer
Intra-Company Transfer is for people who usually work for a company with a qualifying relationship with a Canadian firm such as a subsidiary, affiliate, parent or branch. LMIA is not required by the candidates of Canada in order to employee through this scheme. \
The foreign worker must have spent at least one year with the company. He must have worked in a management position or demonstrated extensive and proprietary knowledge of the company and its goods.
- PNPs
British Columbia: In May 2017, British Columbia began its Tech Pilot. The BC PNP Tech Pilot isn't meant to be a stand-alone initiative. Rather, it's a simplified framework for processing applications submitted through current channels that also fits the pilot's special requirements.
Saskatchewan: There is no particular visa programme for tech employees in Saskatchewan. The province, like others, might limit a round of invitations to candidates interested in running for provincial office to a specific occupation or range of occupations.
