Canada’s open work permit could become pathway to US

The open work permit stream that was announced by the Canadian ministry of immigration last month, targeted specifically at US H-1B work permit visa holders, under Canada’s new tech talent strategy; was oversubscribed in less than 48 hours. Considering that the largest number of H-1B visa holders in the US, who are eligible applicants for this scheme, are Indians, it is apparent that the typical profile of applicants is Indian nationals who are stuck in the US on long green card queues.
