Is there anything like this for tech workers? Or is that not a sector Canada is trying to recruit in as much?

“Canada skilled workers program” are the relevant keywords for searches.

If you can’t find one that fits the work that you do, another option are visas that are non lucrative non working that are based on your investments, their income, including income from rental properties. Own a place in the US? Find a property manager, rent it out, visa secured (assuming monthly/annual income requirements are met).

The shortage of health care workers has a larger impact on the day to day of Canadians than a shortage of tech workers. However we would even define how many tech workers one "needs".
i dont think theres anything active, since canada has a bit of a glut of software engineers, but the big companies frequently put people who couldnt get an h1b in canada, so there must be some options
