Live as a digital nomad in Canada

pasted image 0

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 Canadian government seeks to open doors to new talents in its territory and therefore 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 in foreign companies for up to 6 months from the Canadian territory. 

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, in addition, while you are in Canada, you can take the opportunity to make the necessary networking to enhance your career, and even to get an employer who is willing to bet on you.

You need to know that...

  • As a digital nomad you can join and live in 10 different provinces.
  • This process can be a way to get a job in Canada and eventually, a 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 program, you may be able to apply for permanent residence in Canada.

Other information you should take into account

  • 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 the country.

Although Canada has not created a special visa for nomads, this visit permit will allow you to enjoy the landscapes and cultural diversity of Canada, while working from within. We share with you an experience of working remotely but from an island in the middle of the Mediterranean: Malta
