Residency
Canada — Residency: Digital Nomad Visa
Canada does not currently operate a dedicated Digital Nomad Visa programme. Remote workers may be able to stay in Canada under existing immigration rules where their activities comply with Canadian immigration law, but long-term employment or residence generally requires an appropriate immigration pathway. Individuals intending to relocate permanently should consider the employment, business or permanent residence programmes administered by IRCC.
