If you are a remote worker you can do it from wherever you want, including Canada. There has been a lot of talk about the digital nomad visa in Canada. Here we tell you more about this type of permit.
The Government of Canada is looking to open doors to new talent in its territory and has developed this alternative for people around the world who want to work remotely from Canadian territory.
What it is about
Canada does not have a separate digital nomad visa, but you can work remotely with your tourist visa. With this visa you can work for foreign companies for up to 6 months from within Canada.
This is a great advantage because any worker, whether employed or self-employed, can apply for this opportunity as long as their work can be done remotely.
And while you are in Canada, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to do the necessary networking to boost your career and even find an employer who is willing to invest in you.
You need to know that...
- As a digital nomad you can join and live in 10 different provinces.
- This can be a pathway to work in Canada and eventually to longer-term residency.
- According to Canadian standards the most important requirement is have a tourist visa to gain access to the country.
- If you find a job offer and meet the requirements of an immigration programme, you may be able to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
Other information you should bear in mind
- The process is done virtually and costs approximately 100 Canadian dollars per person.
- You must have a certificate of employment and proof of income.
- You must submit a letter to the Canadian Government justifying your desire to enter and live in Canada.
Although Canada has not created a special visa for nomads, this visit permit will allow you to enjoy Canada's landscapes and cultural diversity while working from within. We share with you an experience of working remotely but from an island in the middle of the Mediterranean: Malta
So you know, now you can enjoy all that this country has to offer while you continue to work on your digital projects and fulfil your dreams.
