August 22, 2017 – More American skilled workers than Indians came to Canada on a temporary work permit under the International Mobility Program in the first half of 2017.

Some 14,835 American skilled workers were granted a temporary Canada visa under the International Mobility Program between January 1 and June 30, 2017. Over the same period, 13,670 Indians were given the same visa.
In 2016 as a whole, 30,850 were granted IMP visas, compared with 28,155 Americans.
