Canada's New Digital Nomad Program: A Game-Changer for International Entrepreneurs
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC
Canada has launched a new immigration program for digital nomads, allowing them to live and work remotely in the country. Under the program, digital nomads can apply for a temporary work permit and stay in Canada for up to three years if they secure a job with a Canadian employer. The initiative aims to address the labor shortage in key tech occupations and attract skilled workers who may be leaving for higher-paid opportunities in other countries. However, applicants should be prepared for potential delays in visa processing and consider long-term settlement options, as not all countries offer a clear path to permanent citizenship within digital nomad schemes.
