Following the U.S. decision to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, Canada is actively wooing skilled tech professionals, particularly from India, which accounts for over 70% of H-1B holders. Canadian officials, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, emphasized reviewing immigration policies to provide an alternative pathway for talent that might have gone to the U.S. This initiative aims to boost Canada’s tech sector and economy, positioning the country as a favorable destination for global tech talent. Other nations like the UK and Germany are also exploring similar opportunities for skilled professionals.
