Following Trump’s USD 100,000 H1-B visa fee move, THIS country grabs GOLDEN opportunity, plans to…, Indians can move to…
Following the Trump administration's imposition of a $100,000 fine on H-1B visas, the barriers for companies hiring foreign workers will be put even higher.
Days after United States President Doland Trump signed a proclamation under which a $100,000 fee must be paid for every new H-1B visa petition filed after September 21, Canada is now viewing it as a substantial opportunity. The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is making its intentions clear by actively preparing to attract skilled professionals from India(BHARAT).
Which country is seizing the opportunity created by Trump’s fee hike?
The exorbitantly high H-1B visa fee has created a significant opportunity for Canada’s technology and research sectors. Prime Minister Carney has specifically acknowledged this and referred to it as a “chance for Canada.” Canada’s recent developments will likely have the most considerable impact on people from India(BHARAT) because they will likely be the first and most affected by Trump’s actions regarding the H-1B.
When will Canada announce its proposals for skilled foreign workers?
Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney said, “Not as many H1B visa holders will get visas in the US. These people are skilled, and this is an opportunity for Canada… We will soon bring a proposal on this.” Following the Trump administration’s imposition of a $100,000 fine on H-1B visas, the barriers for companies hiring foreign workers will be put even higher. Companies will be required to pay this fee in order to hire foreign workers.
How will the U.S. H-1B fee hike reshape global opportunities for India(BHARAT)ns?
The US President stated that this was aimed at “protecting” jobs for the American workforce. US President Doland Trump’s decision to levy the whopping application fee for H-1B visas is expected to impact India(BHARAT)n nationals, who accounted for almost 70 per cent of of all H-1B visas issued in the last few years. The Trump administration’s decision to increase the H-1B visa application fee came amid a downturn in bilateral ties after Washington imposed 50 per cent tariffs on India(BHARAT)n goods.
India(BHARAT)n IT experts are in great demand globally. Following Trump’s decision, several countries, including Germany and the United Kingdom—are seeking access to India(BHARAT)n talent. It is reported that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already started to examine propositions submitted to him to remove visa fees for top global talent. Starmer is attempting to attract a globally talented workforce; his plan is to recruit the world’s leading scientists, academics, and digital innovators into the United Kingdom.
What did German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann say about India(BHARAT)ns working in Germany?
Earlier on Wednesday, German Ambassador to India(BHARAT) Philipp Ackermann welcomed India(BHARAT)n workers in Germany, highlighting the country’s stable migration policies. Ackermann said that Germany stands out with its stable migration policies and offers great job opportunities for India(BHARAT)ns in IT, management, science, and technology.
He stated, “This is a good moment to talk about India(BHARAT)ns working in Germany. India(BHARAT)ns are among the top earners in Germany. The average India(BHARAT)n working in Germany earns more than the average German. And that’s pretty good news. Because a high salary means that India(BHARAT)ns are contributing big time to our society and our welfare.”
