Several countries comment on current work visa restrictions

The fact that President Trump has suspended the issuance of work visas in the US until 2021 has been a highly controversial issue around the world.

In fact, many countries have shared their opinions regarding the restrictions implemented by the current administration of the US.

One of the countries involved in the controversy is Canada, which in recent years has opened its borders to receive a considerable amount of refugees, specialized foreign workers, entrepreneurs and families from all over the world.

In fact, Canada is known worldwide for supporting the interracial culture, multiculturalism, and offering its abundant local resources to multiple nations.

A well-known Canadian magazine publicly stated its opinion regarding the work visa restrictions that President Trump ruled in late June, 2020.

The magazine declares that this decision can be very damaging to the American market, but it can be very beneficial for Canada and other countries that want to receive highly skilled foreign workforce.

The impact of work visa restrictions

Currently, hundreds of companies have complained about the lack of skilled foreign workforce and a shortage of production due to restrictions on work visas.

In fact, in one of our most recent articles, we talked about 308 companies based in the US that answered a national survey and clarified that labor shortages affect their production and cannot supply local market demand.

It is well known that those most affected by these restrictions are sectors such as technology, research and medicine.

Several technology companies (referring not only to physical but digital technology) have declared that it is time to make forceful decisions because they will not be able to supply the needs of the digital market without the help of foreign workforce.

However, despite the current situation, it is important to remember that there are still several possibilities to reside in the US on a work visa. Feel free to contact our expert attorneys for your Business Immigration Case.

Renowned companies are thinking about leaving the US

This is the case of the world-renowned company Duolingo, an online platform to learn languages that has gone viral in recent years due to its great practicality and the ease it offers to its clients.

Duolingo was originally created in the US and its main headquarters have always been there. This digital company has benefited greatly from foreign workforce.

Therefore, after President Trump announced his new restrictions on work visas, the CEO of Duolingo made a post on Twitter where he openly declares: “I’m proud that duolingo, the most valuable startup in PA, is seen as an inspiration for Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, if the US policies against (extremely qualified) immigration continue, we’ll be forced to move jobs (and inspiration) to Toronto”.

This news is a giant disadvantage for the US, since foreign workforce and digital companies like Duolingo are essential to overcome the current economic crisis.

In addition to that, it is important to emphasize that if a company like Duolingo, which handles purely digital tools, is planning to leave the US, many other sectors of the industry will also take the same course if the shortage of workforce affects their economy.
