One of the four pillars of this tech talent strategy, which was introduced in 2023 to draw in qualified individuals to support Canada's rise to prominence in the world of technology, is the Innovation Stream.

As of right now, talented foreign workers who receive a job offer from any of the participating firms in the Global Hypergrowth Project are qualified to apply for an employer-specific work permit. This comprises eight particular businesses that the government has recognised as innovators and leaders in their respective industries with great promise. An exempt work permit under the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) will be granted to qualified employees.
