Canada’s immigration landscape has undergone a significant shift, granting freelancers, contractors, and digital nomads the opportunity to reside in Canada for six months through the revamped Canada’s Tech Talent Strategy. In this article, we unveil this exciting development, aiming to empower you to leverage this new Canadian immigration initiative.
Unlocking Canada’s Doors for Digital Nomads
The sudden opening of Canada’s doors to digital nomads may seem like they have streamlined their immigration process, making it easier for foreign digital nomads to obtain visas through a fresh immigration policy. The reason behind this lies in the exponential growth of digital nomads in recent years, as evidenced by the following growth chart for US digital nomads (Ref):
Growth Chart of US Citizen Digital Nomads
| Years | Nomads (in millions) | Growth |
| 2019 | 7.3 | – |
| 2020 | 10.9 | 49% |
| 2021 | 15.5 | 42% |
| 2022 | 16.9 | 9% |
This staggering rise in digital nomadism has led countries worldwide to introduce digital nomad visa policies, aiming to attract these high-earning individuals. The presence of digital nomads contributes to the host country’s economy, as their foreign-earned income remains within the country.
Canadian Labor Market Impact Assessment Exemptions
In response to this growing trend, Fraser’s agency has recently introduced exemptions in the Canadian Labor Market Impact Assessment process, facilitating digital nomads to apply for the Canadian digital nomad visa. Nicole Cieslicki, Senior Director of International Services at MBO Partners, has confirmed this exciting development.
Capitalizing on US-Canada Income Tax Treaty
As an added advantage, digital nomads moving to Canada can benefit from the US-Canada income tax treaty. During the first six months of their stay, they will be exempted from paying income tax in Canada. However, they may still be required to file their income tax returns in the US, following the 183 days rule
