Global Skills Strategy


On November 30, 2016, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains announced the Global Skills Strategy. The goal of the Global Skills Strategy is to stimulate the economy and encourage the growth of good jobs for Canadians by helping employers create jobs that do not currently exist.


Canada’s Global Skills Strategy will make it faster for businesses in Canada to bring in the global talent and highly skilled experts they need to succeed, grow and flourish.


The Global Skills Strategy will:


establish an ambitious two-week standard for processing visas and work permits for high-skill talent for companies in Canada;

create a dedicated service channel for companies looking to make job-creating investments in Canada; and

drop the work permit requirement for very short-term work (for instance, 30 days or less) and brief academic stays.

The Global Skills Strategy will be implemented later in 2017.

Eliminating the four-year cumulative duration rule under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program


On December 13, 2016, a new public policy put an end to the “four-year cumulative duration rule” for persons working under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program. This rule, which was put in place in 2011, stated that temporary foreign workers could work for a maximum of four years. They would then be ineligible to work in Canada for the next four years.


Eliminating the cumulative duration rule provides workers who have come to Canada temporarily the time they need to qualify and apply for permanent residence in Canada, should they want to stay permanently. It is also advantageous for Canadian employers, who will now be able to retain experienced workers for longer and fill labour shortages in certain industries if they are unable to find Canadians to fill available jobs.
