Indians to benefit as Canada GTS will become permanent

Aspiring Indians, as well as those based in the US, are all set to benefit as Canada GTS - Global Talent Stream Program will now be made permanent. It offers a speedy and hassle-free pathway to work in Canada. Especially those Indian aspirants who have STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics background can now make most of the emerging Canadian job opportunities.

The processing of applications filed by sponsoring employers takes a mere 2 weeks under the Canada GTS program. The best part is that those recruited under the GTS pathway obtain valuable work experience. This offers them an edge while applying for Canada Permanent Residence also popular as PR Visa.

Indians were the largest group to receive Canada PR Visa invitations under the Express Entry System in 2017. Out of the 86, 022 ITAs offered, 36, 310 or around 42% were offered to applicants with Indian citizenship.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has said that 41,000 ITAs were offered to Indians in 2018. This is an increase of 13%, as quoted by the Times of India.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Minister Ahmed Hussen said that we are attracting some of the most highly skilled people globally. This is through the Global Skills Strategy, he added in the recently tabled budget statement. 

The proposal to make the 2-year pilot Canada GTS program follows demand to d so from the nation’s expanding tech sector. More than 2,000 immigrant workers have been approved since the launch of the program in 2017.

The 2019 Canadian budget specifies that GTS has generated commitments from employers to create 40,000 fresh jobs for Canadians and PR holders.
