Canada's High Demand for US Skilled Workers Sparks Surge in Applications

Skilled workers in the US are increasingly frustrated with the outdated and unfriendly immigration system, leading many to consider moving to Canada. The H1-B visa, which allows foreign-born, US-educated individuals to work in the country, has a limited quota that is quickly filled, leaving many skilled workers without a path to permanent residency. Canada's new work permit program has already received an overwhelming number of applications, indicating the country's attractiveness to skilled workers. While some experts caution that it is too early to determine the success of Canada's program, many workers are drawn to the country's flexible immigration policies and clear path to permanent residency.
