Many countries offer expedited processing and reduced document requirements for eligible employers hiring foreign talent.

Some of these programs have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and processing times may be longer but the options remain available. 

Canada 

Under the Global Talent Stream (GTS) program in Canada, employers and their foreign national employees benefit from a simplified Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process and expedited visa processing. Eligible companies can present a Labor Market Benefits Plan (LMBP) that demonstrates how the company will generate growth and promote skills training of Canadian workers through the transfer of knowledge.
