Options for H-1B Visa Holders

Exploring Work Opportunities in Canada for H-1B Visa Holders

The H-1B visa program in the United States has time limitations and other challenges, prompting many skilled foreign nationals to consider working in Canada. Here are some options available:

Global Talent Stream

The Global Talent Stream offers a facilitated work permit option for foreign nationals in the IT sector. Many eligible occupations align with the “specialty occupation” definition in the H-1B program, easing the transition to a Canadian work permit.

Intra-Company Transfers

The Intra-Company Transfer program allows certain H-1B visa holders to be eligible for a facilitated Canadian work permit. This benefits multinational companies with operations in both the U.S. and Canada.

Intra-Company Transfer Start Up

The Intra-Company Transfer Start Up program enables foreign nationals working for U.S. companies to establish a presence in Canada and receive a facilitated work permit to begin operations in the country.

Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)

Under CUSMA, Mexican citizens on H-1B visas in Canada can receive a facilitated work permit if they are qualified to work in a given occupation.

Business Visitors

Business visitors, including H-1B visa holders needing to come to Canada for work-related reasons, can qualify under certain scenarios and are exempt from the requirement for a work permit.

Family Members of H-1B Visa Holders

Family members of H-1B visa holders who have applied can also apply to come to Canada as visitors, workers, or students.

Under this public policy, the deadline for family members to submit open work permit applications is September 27, 2024.

There is no deadline for visitor or student applications.
