What is the Global Talent Stream?
The Global Talent Stream is one of the streams contained within Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). The Global Talent Stream aims to make the work permit process easier for certain Canadian employers, allowing them to compete on a global scale.
The Global Talent Stream was established in June 2017 as a collaboration between Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada. The Global Talent Stream helps certain Canadian employers hire highly skilled talent from all over the world, allowing them to compete on a global scale. Employers who are approved through the program will be able to speed up the hiring of foreign nationals through the Global Skills Strategy.
The global talent stream is a stream of immigration in Canada that is used to bring highly skilled professionals into Canada in streams especially software engineering and computer programing. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program, a group of work permit streams that invites foreigners to Canada on temporary work permits to fill certain labour shortages, processes applications for Global Talent Streams. The TFWP’s Global Talent Stream prioritizes candidates with experience in engineering and tech-related disciplines for highly skilled professionals in specialized occupations.
On June 12, 2017, IRCC and ESDC launched the Global Skills Strategy in hopes of making it easier for Canadian businesses to attract the talent they need to succeed in a global marketplace. By providing Canadian businesses with a faster way to bring in global talent so they can grow and, in turn, create better jobs for Canadians. The Global Talent Stream is the most significant part of the Global Skills Strategy.
Businesses in Canada who have been directed to the GTS by one of ESDC’s recognized partners (category A) or who are looking to hire foreign employees in extremely competent technological professions like as engineers, information systems analysts, and software programmers are able to qualify through the GTS (category B).
Labour Market Benefits Plan
You must collaborate with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to create a Labour Market Benefits Plan that demonstrates your dedication to actions that will benefit the Canadian labour market long-term. By hiring highly skilled foreign labour, you may boost the Canadian economy by identifying and tracking your overall job creation, skills development, and training investments. This is done with the aid of a labour market benefits plan.
Your Labour Market Benefits Plan’s commitments will be broken down into required and supplemental benefits.
Businesses must produce a Labour Market Benefit Package in which they undertake initiatives that will create employment or enhance investment in skills and training for Canadians & permanent residents. ESDC will collaborate with companies to develop the Labour Market Benefit Package during the application procedure. The obligations will be split into two categories: required and optional benefits.
Applying via option A:
As a condition of your mandate, you will first promise to generate jobs for Canadians and permanent residents
You must therefore pledge to reach a minimum of 2 supplementary benefits, which each must include at least one action
Applying via option B:
As a mandated benefit, you must promise to expand investment in knowledge and qualifications for Canadians & permanent residents
You must therefore agree to reach a minimum of 2 supplementary benefits, each of which must include at least one action
If you are applying for positions in both Category A and Category B, you must commit to one activity as part of the job creation benefit and one activity as part of the investments skills and training benefit, as well as at least two complementary benefits. Jobs growth, investments in education and competencies, knowledge transfer to Canadians & permanent residents, greater workplace diversity, improved firm performance, and applying best practices or policies as that of a business for your staff are all examples of complementary advantages.
Recruitment
You are encouraged to hire Canadians and permanent citizens before hiring a temporary foreign worker, even though there is no minimum recruiting requirement for the Global Talent Stream. You will be required to disclose any recruitment efforts made as part of your application.
Wages
When employed for the same position and location, with comparable qualifications and years of experience, temporary foreign workers should get pay that is comparable to that of Canadian and permanent resident employees.
