Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he will soon roll out a plan to attract skilled workers who would not get H-1B visas, and it would be an opportunity for Canada.
“Not many as H-1B visa holders will get visas in the US. These people are skilled, and this is an opportunity for Canada…We will soon bring a proposal on this,” Carney said.
Several nations came forward to attract the Indian skilled workers in tech sectors after the Trump administration announced a massive increase in H-1B visa fees, imposing a USD 100,000 annual charge that will fundamentally alter how American companies hire skilled foreign workers, particularly impacting Indian IT professionals who comprise the largest group of beneficiaries.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed the changes during a press call, describing the fee hike as a deliberate strategy to eliminate what the administration considers lower-skilled training positions while preserving opportunities for highly skilled workers.
China has stated that it is opening its doors to global talent across various sectors to drive technological and economic advancement.
During a press briefing on Monday, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasised the importance of cross-border talent exchange in a globalised world, highlighting China’s commitment to fostering innovation and career opportunities for international professionals.
German Ambassador to India Philipp Ackermann welcomed Indian workers in Germany on Wednesday, highlighting the country’s stable migration policies.
Ackermann said that Germany stands out with its stable migration policies and offers great job opportunities for Indians in IT, management, science, and technology.
