Canada Visa Rules : The Canadian government is making a lot of changes in the visa rules. Earlier, there was strictness in issuing various types of visas, but now good news is coming from Justin Trudeau’s government, which can also be availed by Indians. Actually, Canada has announced relaxation in the rules for granting work permits to US H-1B visa holders. An open work permit allows a foreign citizen to work in another country for a certain period of time.
The Business Standard report says that Indians also form a large part of H-1B visa holders. In such a situation, this exemption from Canada is a relief news for them too. H-1B visa is a major means of entry into the US for international students, which allows them to work for the company along with studying, now it can be availed by getting exemption in Canada. Abhijeet Javeri, founder of Career Mosaic, says that with the introduction of Canada’s new work permit policy for H-1B visa holders, Indian students and professionals are likely to increase in Canada. This change will increase experienced talent in Canada, which will lead to a lot of work in the technology, healthcare and engineering space.
Indian people will be able to benefit in this way
Abhijeet Javeri believes that due to the high demand for annual H-1B visas in the US, many skilled workers live in uncertainty. In view of this, Canada’s new policy is a great way, which provides a stable option for those facing uncertainties in the US. However, H-1B visa holders have to fulfill many things to get an open work permit in Canada. For application, it is necessary to have a valid H-1B specialty occupation visa, residence in the US, and a job offer from a Canadian employer. Temporary residence visa, study permit and open work permit are required. After this, its benefits can be availed.
