Canada launches program to recruit skilled immigrants from the US
Canada has launched a program aimed at recruiting highly skilled immigrants from all over the world, especially from the United States. The program offers a three-year work permit to anyone holding a USH1B visa, the most common entry permit for immigrants working in the tech sector.
