What Are the Main Features of the Digital Nomad Visa?
Work Flexibility and Extended Stay: Freelancers were permitted to stay in Canada for up to six months before; however, now the period of stay is extended. The increasing number and growing influence of the Canadian workforce can be credited to these changes.
Temporary Residence: Through this visa, freelancers are permitted to stay in Canada temporarily and are not required to be physically present in the major cities.
Emphasis on IT Professionals: The government of Canada is highly interested in raising the number of IT professionals who are highly qualified in the country.
The IRCC will be releasing more information on remote work in the upcoming months.
