The key benefits of the Global Talent Stream (GTS) program in Canada are:
Fast Processing Times: The GTS is known for its expedited processing times, with work permit applications typically processed within 2 weeks
Access to Specialized Talent: The GTS allows Canadian employers to quickly hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized occupations, particularly in engineering and technology fields, when qualified Canadian workers are not available
Pathway to Permanent Residency: Working in Canada through the GTS can significantly increase one’s chances of becoming eligible for a permanent residence program, as the GTS can be a stepping stone to permanent residency
Open Work Permits for Spouses: Spouses and partners of GTS workers can obtain open work permits, allowing them to work for any employer in Canada and switch jobs if they wish
