Know about the fast-track Work Permit program in Canada

‘The Global Talent Stream’ is a 2-year program that enables Skilled Immigrants to migrate to Canada. Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) had introduced a new pilot program for Immigrants. This was in association with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The Global Talent Stream gets Skilled Immigrants a chance to obtain the Work Permit. However, they must meet the below criteria -

• They must hold job offers in recognized in-demand occupations
• They must have been referred to the program by authorized referral organizations

Skilled Immigrants can obtain the Work Permit within 2 weeks, as quoted by Lexology. The Global Talent Stream allows Immigrants to work in US companies that have sibling companies in Canada. That way they can keep working while awaiting the US Work Permit. The initiative aims at improving the growth of Canadian companies.

The Work Permit program gets Skilled Immigrants quickly. Their aim is to fill the in-demand positions in the Canadian companies as soon as possible. However, to be eligible for this program, employers must fulfil certain criteria. Let’s have a quick look at them.

• The employers must commit to a Labour Market Benefits Plan or LMBP
• The plans are suggested by ESDC officials
• They must balance the costs of the commitments
• One Labour Market Benefit is mandatory and two are classified as complementary

Let’s see what some of the best Labour Market Benefits are:

Increasing Skills and Training investments

ESDC officials suggest this benefit to most of the employers.Along with offering Work Permit to Immigrants, they must commit to this benefit. The following activities are part of this benefit -

• Establishing an educational partnership with local institutes to endorse skilling and training
• Increasing investment in in-house training and skilling
• Facilitating paid internship programs for employees
• Encouraging work-integrated learning and training programs

Job creation

This is the second most recognized benefit by ESDC. The employer should track all the jobs that are related to a newly recruited Immigrant. This will help in improving the country’s economy. Also, this opens new job options for local residents. Employers must adhere to the following rules -

• They have to hire Canadians to support the Immigrant in their role
• They must increase the number of local employees both full-time and part-time in the company
