Canada Competes for H-1B Immigrants

Canada has unveiled an immigration initiative to attract skilled technology professionals from the United States with H-1B work visas, nonimmigrant foreign worker visas for noncitizens with specialized skills. Beginning July 16, up to 10,000 of these visa holders will be able to apply to work in Canada. The move is part of the country’s new Tech Talent Strategy. Immigration reporter Aline Barros for Voice of America has the story.
