In the global competition for highly-skilled people, it is crucial that these types of workers can get here quickly,&#8221; said Immigration Minister John McCallum.<\/p>\n<p>To be implemented in 2017, the Global Skills Strategy will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Establish an ambitious two-week standard for processing visas and work permits for low-risk, high-skill talent for companies in Canada;<\/li>\n<li>Create a dedicated service channel for companies looking to make large, job-creating investments in Canada; and<\/li>\n<li>Drop the work permit requirement for very short-term work (for instance, 30 days or less) in low-risk fields. Brief academic stays would also be eligible for this work permit exemption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For his part, Minister Navdeep Bains added: \u201cBusiness leaders have told me that attracting top global talent actually increases economic activity. One key hire can attract many others. This critical mass of talent enables the start-up of new companies. I\u2019m proud that the Government has listened to the concerns of business leaders. Tapping into a large pool of highly trained people \u2013 both in Canada, and abroad \u2013 will set this country up for success as a global innovation leader. And it will enable high-growth Canadian companies to develop more quickly into globally competitive successes. That\u2019s how we will create well-paying jobs for all Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s rationale for the Global Skills Strategy is that the global demand for highly skilled talent in the knowledge economy is outpacing the supply, leaving companies in Canada without the talent needed to fill vacancies and grow their businesses. Among other benefits, the new strategy should allow businesses to provide employment for Canadians.<\/p>\n<h4><em>To find out if you are eligible to work temporarily in Canada, or to learn more about bringing a foreign worker to Canada, please contact us at wp@canadavisa.com.
