Forbes: H-1B Visa Holder Applications Overwhelm Canada’s New Program

Canada’s new program to entice H-1B visa holders to the country attracted so many applications that the 10,000 limit was reached in less than 48 hours. Canada may reopen the program and accept more applications if it finds not all applicants are approved to enter the country and work.

 “I am sure that officials will open up to more applications in due course,” said Crawford. “They will have to sift through what they have, and I assume that some applications will be incomplete and/or ineligible. Once they learn the numbers and have a feel for how many will take up the opportunity, they can commit to the next steps.”
