Anna Ambroszkiewicz holds a Polish passport but considers the whole world her home as she lives as a digital nomad. She structures her life in a way that allows her to live in different places for short periods of time. Currently based in Bansko, Bulgaria, she is intrigued by the Canadian government’s plan to introduce a visa specifically for digital nomads. Ambroszkiewicz is drawn to Canada for its natural beauty and would love to go snowboarding there. However, the high cost of living is deterring her. The Canadian government is working on launching a special visa for digital nomads as part of a wider strategy to attract talent in STEM fields. The details of the program, such as taxes and property ownership, are still being figured out. The government aims to promote Canada as a preferred destination for digital nomads and is exploring the possibility of allowing them to stay for longer than six months. However, challenges such as tax schemes and real estate ownership need to be addressed. Digital nomads like Ambroszkiewicz would need to pay taxes to the Canadian government if their income is considered to be earned through a Canadian source. Ownership of property by digital nomads in Canada also remains uncertain. Despite these challenges, Canada’s natural beauty continues to attract potential digital nomads. However, the car dependency and lack of reliable public transportation options in Canada can be off-putting. The success of the program will depend on how it is designed and implemented, taking into account the needs of both communities and digital nomads. Ambroszkiewicz suggests that a longer-term visa would be more appealing to nomads who prefer to spend extended periods in each location.
