As Donald Trump hikes the fee for a popular skilled worker visa programme in the US, lawyers and business experts are urging Canada to seize the moment and open its doors.

But some caution that those looking north as an alternative may find that Canada’s immigration system has its own challenges.

The call to attract and retain talented workers left behind by the Trump administration’s changes to H-1B visa is one that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to be paying attention to.

    30 days is way not enough to find a new job AS AN IMMIGRANT. If not flat out imposible. That is a disingenuous argument.

    A citizen with would luck would find 30 days to find a new job, incredibly short.

      Agreed. On an H-1B, you’re locked into the handful of companies willing to sponsor, and switching jobs is near impossible. Seriously who gets hired in 30 days? Even 60 days is crazy short.
