EP4 - Canadian Immigration as a Global Talent Strategy feat. Pavan Dhillon, Founder at Dhillon Immigration Law

Immigration presents one of the best opportunities for companies to access global talent. Canada has some of the world's best business immigration programs. Earlier this year, 10,000 H-1B holders jumped at the chance to immigrate to Canada in just 2 days. 

At Waterloo EDC, we've seen companies come here with the intent of creating a global talent hub – to attract global talent or move global talent who are at risk of leaving their roles in the US. If you’re tackling talent challenges, this could be a strategy you want to explore, too. 

We asked Pavan Dhillon, one of North America’s leading immigration law experts, for her thoughts on the topic. 

Key Questions:

• How does an immigration lawyer help growing businesses access Canadian immigration programs?
• What is the Global Talent Stream and how do companies access it?
• What is the Intra-Company Transfer program and what unique benefits does it provide to growing companies?
• Are there any industries or roles that align particularly well with Canada's immigration programs?
• What pitfalls should companies avoid during the immigration process?
• What advice will help companies have a smooth and successful immigration process?
