Global Skill Strategy
The federal Global Skill Strategy Program (GSS) offers an attractive option for Canadian businesses seeking to tap into international talent and highly skilled foreign labor. This program enables Canadian businesses to access a pool of suitably skilled manpower and bring new foreign workers to Canada within a month’s time.
Moreover, eligible international workers can also benefit from this program by bringing their immediate family members to Canada with the same processing time. To qualify for the GSS program, Canadian businesses must prepare and present a detailed Labour Market Benefits Plan (LMBP) to the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and comply with progress review requirements.
At Fortune Law Group, we provide comprehensive support in all aspects of the immigration application process, including preparing and presenting the LMBP, and ensuring compliance with all necessary requirements. Contact us today to learn more about how our services can help you take advantage of this program and access the skilled foreign workers your business needs to grow.
What is the eligibility criteria to immigrate under the Global Skill Strategy Program?
If you are interested in immigrating to Canada through the Global Skills Strategy (GSS) program, there are certain eligibility requirements that must be met. These include having a job offer from an employer who has a positive LMIA through the Global Talent Stream for Category A or B workers or having an LMIA exemption. Additionally, your occupation must fall under skill type 0 (managerial or executive) or skill level A (professional) to qualify for the program. Meeting these requirements is essential in order to be considered for the GSS program and to begin your journey toward Canadian permanent residency.
