Two years ago, the ministry of Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced the Global Skills Strategy to help Canadian businesses attract the people with the right talent to help them establish themselves in the marketplace. A key component of the Global Skills Strategy is the Global Talent Steam (GTS), which gives Canadian employers fast and reliable access to top talent from around the world, by quickly issuing work permits to highly skilled and experienced workers.

Over the past two years, over 1,110 Canadian employers have used the Global Talent Stream (GTS). They have committed to creating more than 48,000 jobs across Canada, and more than 12,500 paid co-op positions. These employers have also invested around $113 million in skills development and training. As of March 2019, the tremendously successful Global Talent Stream has been made permanent. The Strategy also introduced work permit exemptions for highly skilled workers coming to Canada for 30 days or less, and, for researchers coming for 120 days or less.

After two years, nearly 40,000 people have come to Canada under the Global Skills Strategy, including nearly 24,000 highly skilled workers in occupations such as computer programming, information system analysis and software engineering.
