去年11月底，当时的加拿大移民、难民和公民部（IRCC）部长麦家廉（John McCallum）和加拿大创新、科学和经济发展部部长 Navdeep Bains 参观生物技术公司时就共同阐述过如何积极推动加拿大政府的全球技能战略（Global Skills Strategy）。参见：加拿大将于2017年出台两周工作许可（工签）办理措施。
本月9日， Navdeep Bains 和就业、劳动力发展及劳工部（Employment, Workforce Development and Labour）部长 Patty Hajdu 宣布了一项新的人才战略类别：外籍临时劳工全球人才项目（Global Talent Stream of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program）。该项目木将于今年6月12日正式启动。

全球技能战略可以帮助加拿大企业尽快引进全球人才、在加拿大创造就业机会。无论是引进专业人才培训加拿大本土劳工还是雇用急需的全球专业人，填补加拿大国内劳动力需求缺口，人才战略都将有助于加拿大企业创新、促进加拿大经济增长、增加中产阶级工作机会。全球技能战略将会跟踪雇主在创造就业、知识转化和培训加拿大本土劳工方面的工作，促进加拿大境内的新投资。同时，加拿大政府会继续听取各省和地区、企业界人士在战略执行方面的意见。

全球技能战略将让加拿大企业雇用境内外训练有素的劳工更容易，会使加拿大成为全球创新领导者。这是创新计划的关键所在，因此， 加拿大政府计划为中产阶级和辛勤工作的人士创造更多高质量、高薪酬工作。

引述
"Canada continues to compete in a global innovation race. As technologies become more widely available to everyone, the only competitive edge for countries and businesses is the distinctive talent and creativity of their people. While skilled immigrants are now identifying Canada as a country of choice in which to apply their knowledge and ideas, we also need to prepare our homegrown talent for a rapidly changing job market. Our government wants to create good quality, high-paying jobs for the middle class and those working hard to join it."
– The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development

"The current visa process for bringing world-class foreign talent to Canada is not competitive. The fast-track initiative introduced today by the federal government will significantly assist Peraso in scaling the company to compete for business at a global level."
– Ronald Glibbery, President and CEO, Peraso Technologies
"The Global Skills Strategy will help high-growth Canadian technology firms by making it easier and faster to attract and acquire the global talent they need to scale up and compete on the world stage. Canada's most successful innovators welcome the new two-week turnaround standard for work permit applications, the streamlined process for applications, and the continued efforts of the federal government in supporting Canada's tech sector and especially helping Canadian companies scale up. Our CEOs welcome the federal government's continued engagement and collaboration on strategies that provide our high-growth scaling companies with better access to talent."
– Benjamin Bergen, Executive Director, Council of Canadian Innovators
