The Canadian government is working to expand the remote work visa program to attract freelancers, bloggers, skilled freelancers, and digital workers around the world to allow them to work without the obligation to be present in the country.
Canada has lifted the numerous restrictions imposed on visas for talented individuals and freelancers around the world, and the new visas are designed to facilitate freelancers and digital nomads, allowing them to work remotely without the obligation of being physically present in the office.
Independent contractor visas for freelancers in Canada
Skilled freelancers and digital nomads will receive new visas called “independent contractor” and these visas will give them the flexibility to work from anywhere within Canada in accordance with the policy adopted by the Canadian government regarding work visas in Canada.
It is worth noting that developed countries, including Canada, are of course seeking to attract skilled individuals in the fields of freelancing on the Internet, especially with the high global demand for talent in the field of high technology.
Based on the above, many European countries, the United States and Canada have recently implemented a number of special measures to ensure the employment of specialists in advanced technological fields.
In addition to many changes for freelancers in Canada that accompany visa policies are housing benefits.
Previous work visas for freelancers in Canada
It is worth noting that workers in various fields on the Internet had their visas in Canada limited only to a maximum of 6 months, and this visa was called a “visitor visa to work in Canada.”
For its part, the United Nations, on behalf of the Canadian Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, “Isabelle Dubois”, confirmed her optimism regarding the previous decisions, which would facilitate the procedures for residence and obtaining visas for self-employed people in Manda, and they will now be able to come to Canada and enjoy the privileges and benefits it offers to residents.
