What’s the Global Talent Stream (GTS)?

The Global Talent Stream comes under the Talent Worker Program. This skilled immigration stream offers timely, predictable, and responsive client-focused service. This stream aims to expand the country’s workforce to make them globally competitive.

How the GTS works?

Innovative business firms in Canada are referred to Employment & Social Development Canada. This is done by a designated referral partner. These business firms will be in need of unique and specialized foreign nationals so that they can scale up and grow. Firms in Canada need to recruit skilled workers for in-demand highly-skilled positions. These occupations are present on the Global Talent Occupations List. Employers in Canada recruiting foreign workers through GTS are obliged to develop a Labor Market Benefits Plan. What this means is that the employer will demonstrate that the chosen employees will bring about a lasting, positive impact on the labor market in Canada.
