The Canadian government has changed the work permit rules for US H-1B visa holders. This means that Indian professionals working in the US on H-1B visas can now easily apply to work in Canada. This will greatly benefit Indian IT professionals.
A good option for Indian professionals
The US currently has very restrictive policies and job uncertainty for H-1B visa holders. In such a situation, this move by Canada can be a good option for Indian professionals. They will now be able to find stable employment in Canada and make better use of their talent and skills.
IT sector will get a boost
This move by Canada is aimed at diversifying and dynamizing its economy. Highly skilled professionals, especially those working in IT-related businesses, will now be able to migrate to Canada easily. This will also strengthen Canada's IT sector and make it a major IT destination.
Contribution to economic development
According to media reports, Canada's GDP growth rate is 1.2%. More than 15,000 Indian tech professionals will move to Canada in the financial year 2022-2023. This shows that Canada is becoming an attractive destination for Indian tech talent.
Favorite place of Indians
Although relations between Canada and India have deteriorated in recent years, Canada is still a preferred destination for Indians. There is a large Indian community presence here and opportunities for career and educational activities attract Indians.
More than 2.5 million Indians go abroad every year. In such a situation, Canada's new policies can help establish it as a global power. After working in Canada, when these professionals return to India, they also bring with them valuable experience and insights. This promotes local innovation and competition.
