Canada has opened its doors to freelance digital workers by introducing the Digital Nomad Visa Program. Under this initiative, individuals on a foreign visit visa can now apply for a work permit to freelance while in Canada.
Digital nomad workers will only require a visit visa, allowing them a flexible stay of up to 6 months, whether freelancing or working for an international employer.
Notably, the Canadian government has streamlined the process by eliminating the need for additional documents for digital workers entering the country.
This move reflects Canada’s acknowledgment and accommodation of the evolving nature of remote work and freelancing.
According to the immigration ministry, about 360,000 study permits are expected to be accepted this year, which reflects a 35% reduction compared to last year.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced that the federal government will work alongside provinces, which oversee the education system, to enforce the cap.
