Canada welcomes foreign remote workers with the launch of their digital nomad visa
Excerpt from miamiherald.com
Canada will soon be added to the list of nations that allow digital nomads to conduct their business remotely within their borders. A new digital nomad visa has been unveiled by Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Sean Fraser.
The new plan contains provisions that enable remote workers to stay in Canada for extended periods. During the Collision Conference in Toronto, the Minister unveiled a groundbreaking proposal that would allow foreign nationals to obtain a digital nomad visa, granting them the opportunity to engage in remote work for international companies or clients within the borders of Canada.
This exciting development, as reported by CTV News, has the potential to revolutionize the way individuals from abroad can contribute to the Canadian workforce. “If digital nomads receive a job offer while in Canada, we will allow them to continue working in the country,” Fraser said in a release.
Foreign nationals offered employment can take advantage of a program that smoothes the way from a work visa to a work permit.
