Are you about to lose your tech employee due to Immigration issues?

Every year, tens of thousands of skilled tech workers are forced to leave the US annually due to visa constraints. The costs associated with replacing such talent and the direct negative effect on businesses and team morale drive home the urgency of a solution. Imagine a scenario where you can swiftly, legally, and cost-effectively relocate your invaluable top-tier talent to Canada while they continue to work remotely for your US company.

Have you considered transferring
to Canada even if you don’t have presence? 

Through our Canadian Tech Talent Relocation Program (TRIP), we provide a lifeline for U.S. companies facing the risk of losing their tech talent due to visa restrictions. We facilitate the relocation and immigration of your skilled tech professionals to work remotely in Canada. This strategic move not only retains your talent but also offers a seamless solution for remote work that benefits the employer and their foreign employee. Our approach aligns with the need to navigate complex immigration hurdles while ensuring business continuity and fortifying your workforce.
