Foreign nationals interested in working in Canada’s dynamic tech sector now have an exciting opportunity. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have rolled out a new work permit under the Innovation Stream, allowing eligible foreign nationals to pursue employment without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This initiative is a vital component of Canada’s Tech Talent Strategy, aiming to stimulate economic growth by drawing global talent into the country.
Here’s an overview of the eight pioneering companies recognized for this work permit, particularly highlighting the six currently hiring as of mid-October:
Ada Support Inc.
Based in Toronto, Ada Support Inc. revolutionizes customer service through its AI-powered platform. Though primarily a remote company, it prefers specific roles stationed in certain provinces. Ada offers perks like the ability to work from abroad, stock options, unlimited leave, and home office budget support. There are over 15 open roles across product development, finance, and customer experience.
AlayaCare
AlayaCare, headquartered in Montreal, focuses on resolving healthcare challenges with AI-driven home care software solutions. With offices across the globe, it is presently recruiting in Toronto and Montreal. Candidates may require bilingual skills in English and French, with opportunities in technical services, implementation, and engineering.
