Although Thailand recently announced its “Destination Thailand Visa,” a five-year visa for remote workers, the work arrangement is not new in Canada as the country announced its own program to attract “top talent from around the world” last year.

The government aims to convince digital nomads that Canada is an ideal destination and offers applicants easy entry and invaluable social benefits, such as access to employers and investors, a diverse culture, education, and more, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) website.
