Global Talent Stream is now available in Quebec

QUEBEC NEWS - TEMPORARY WORK PERMIT CATEGORY

The Global Talent Stream is now available to employers in the province of Quebec, allowing them to hire certain skilled foreign workers quickly with a two-week processing time standard for applications.

GTS is part of the government of Canada’s Global Skills Strategy, an initiative designed to facilitate access to uniquely specialized foreign workers in order to promote Canada's economic growth and job creation. 

The two-week processing standard also applies to open work permits for accompanying spouses/common-law partners, and study permits for accompanying dependents, if applicable.

Employers in Quebec can now benefit from the Global Talent Stream's streamlined process to help them hire people with specialized skills or fill vacant positions for high-demand occupations. This benefits employers particularly in the province's metropolis of Montreal where tech companies are continually on the lookout for talent, both in Canada and abroad.

The Global Talent Stream offers priority processing of applications, flexible recruitment requirements and faster work permit processing so businesses can get the talent they need when they need it
