GLOBAL TALENT STREAM
The Global Talent Stream is an immigration program that allows Canadian employers to quickly hire foreign skilled workers to fill a certain job position when Canadian workers are not available for specific roles and are not able to perform the duties required by the job.
The processing of the Global Talent Stream work permit application is only two weeks, making it the fastest immigration pathway for skilled workers who want to settle in Canada.
This Stream, which is a part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, is also designed to help innovative companies and businesses grow by ensuring they can access highly-skilled global talent they need quickly, enabling them to be globally competitive.
Employers who are successfully through the program will be able to quicken the process for hiring foreign nationals through the Global Skills Strategy.
There are two categories under the Global Talent Stream:
The Global Talent Stream accepts applications through two categories. Category A and Category B. While the two categories have unique requirements, they do share a few common requirements:
Employers must submit a $1000 CAD application fee.
Employers must submit documentation proving the legitimacy of their business.
Employers must work with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to develop a Labour Market Benefits Plan demonstrating that their business activities will have a lasting, positive impacts on the Canadian labour market.
Category A

Category B
Employers may be eligible for Category B of the Global Talent Stream if they are seeking to hire highly-skilled foreign workers to fill positions in occupations found on the Global Talent Occupations List, which have been determined to be in-demand.
