median $2,985
Best for: 6-month visitor stays in Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal.
Canada's lack of a DNV is partially offset by the Tech Talent Strategy launched 2023 — H-1B holders specifically can move with simplified work rights. For nomads outside that channel, the standard 6-month visitor permit covers most use cases, with renewals from inside Canada possible. Toronto and Vancouver are expensive; Montreal is the lifestyle-and-cost arbitrage city.
Visa story
eTA / Visitor Record (6 months); no DNV but Tech Talent Strategy attracts US tech.
Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
