Foreign IT/Tech workers travel to Canada due to the after sales service of the product they manufactured because the product in question is of a complex technological equipment or computer systems software. It is often the case that the servicing of the product requires proprietary knowledge to which only employees of the foreign company are privy, rendering them eligible to enter as business visitors. Also sometimes IT/Tech people are required to provide training of such products in Multi-National Companies due to which they have to apply for Business Visa.

Also with the expanding role of technology in today’s modern world, there has been a significant increase in the number of IT/Tech- related subject seminars or workshops. In order for Canadians to take benefit from the specialized knowledge of Non-Canadian experts on such topics they are granted entry to Canada as a Business Visitor.
