Global Talent Service

A solution to the tech talent shortage

Trusted Referral Partner: The AQT Facilitates International Talent Recruitment for Tech SMEs

To support the growth of the technology sector, the AQT works closely with federal and provincial governments, guiding eligible companies toward two services that streamline international talent hiring: ESDC’s Global Talent Stream (Category A) and IRCC’s Dedicated Service Channel. Only companies referred by designated partners, such as the AQT, can access these services (subject to approval by ESDC and IRCC based on current criteria).

GLOBAL TALENT SERVICE

Accelerate International Talent Hiring

The Global Talent Stream (GTS) allows companies to quickly fill in-demand positions by hiring highly skilled foreign workers, with a target processing time of 10 business days.

DEDICATED SERVICE CHANNEL

Benefit from Personalized Support

The Dedicated Service Channel is a concierge service that pairs eligible businesses with a government account manager. This point of contact will provide dedicated support to help with the following:

  • Informing you about available immigration program options;
  • Providing explanations of processes;
  • Connecting you with the relevant operational staff in Canada or abroad (if applicable);
  • Coordinating your file and, if necessary, communicating with the various stakeholders in the process (ESDC, MIDI, SC, or others) to ensure seamless processing;

However, please note that the Dedicated Service Channel does not process or prioritize requests, nor does it make immigration decisions.
