Good news for tech companies in Alberta: the province has just announced it will open “The Accelerated Tech Pathway” through the Alberta Immigration Nominee program. This stream aims to expedite the visa processing of foreign tech talents so that those with job offers in in-demand careers in the tech sector can become permanent residents of Canada in as early as six months.
