hi everyone my name is Marilene quintana i'm a regulated canadian immigration
consultant and director of operations at e-visa immigration and in this video we are
going to talk about the global talent
stream
the global talent stream is part of the temporary foreign worker program
and can be used by employers that are seeking to hire people
in very specialized positions are people that will be working in the technology
industry so there's two categories that you can
consider in order to apply first if you're hiring for a specialized
position second if you are hiring for a i.t
tag position on the category b we have a list of occupations that you can
consider to apply in this list we have all the range of
tech positions such as computer manager software
engineers computer programmers web designers
computer specialists we also have producers and digital designers but
these two last positions it is required to be
on this very senior level not on the basic level
this is because for these specific positions
it is required a salary above the average the global talent stream is a
great option for employers to hire people from
overseas because the process is not as complicated and does not
require much from the employer basically the
employer is going to do an exchange agreement with the
government of canada so in exchange of the authorization to
hire somebody from overseas the employer will commit to perform some
activities that will help the canadian labor market so in the future the
canadian labor market will have more people with the knowledge that's
required for these specific occupations the result of a global talent stream it
is an opinion which we call a labor market
impact assessment which once is issued as neutral or
positive will allow the foreign worker to apply for a work permit for
up to two years another great advantage of this
program is the processing time once submitted the application is reviewed
within 15 business days and once approved
the work permit request can also be approved within another 15 business days
meaning is a very fast forwarding way to bring foreign talent to canada so
what's the main difference between the global talent stream
and the lmia the main difference is that when applying to the global talent
stream the employer is not required to prove recruitment efforts which is to
prove to the government of canada that they have tried to hire canadians
or permanent residents before offering the position so that's
definitely a great great great difference
and helps a lot employers to feel compelled in pursuing this problem
but remember most employers in canada does not know about the existence of
this program so it's up to you to show this video to
your employer so they can understand a little bit more about the problem
and be more comfortable in pursuing that possibility
if you have a prospect employer you can also contact us
and then we we can offer you a support to talk to your employer
meaning we can assess your profile validate your eligibility and discuss
with your employer in all details about what the program
entails if your employer decides to help you and proceed with our consulting
services we can offer a discount of the price paid for the
supporting services in your application process so if you have
a very unique skill or if you work in it it is a very good
opportunity for you to know how this program works so you can
explain to your employer and improve your chances of coming to
canada as a worker so that's all for today
