The Complete Guide to Canada
Everything you need to know about visas, taxes, banking, and finding a home before you move.
Canada is a high-cost, high-tax nation with a massive tech sector (Toronto/Vancouver) heavily integrated with the US economy. It recently attempted to court US remote workers directly.
The Digital Nomad Strategy (2023)
Canada announced a specific "strategy" targeting US tech workers, but it is not a new visa.
- The Reality: The government simply clarified that under existing immigration law, remote workers can enter Canada on a standard visitor visa (allowing a stay of up to 6 months) and work remotely for their foreign employer.
- The Goal: Canada hopes these nomads will network, interview with Canadian tech companies, and transition to a sponsored work visa.
The Express Entry System
If you want permanent residency (PR).
- The Process: A highly competitive points-based system evaluating age, education, English/French proficiency, and work experience. Being under 30 with a Master's degree and strong English practically guarantees an invitation.
