The technology sector in Canada is witnessing unprecedented growth owing to the booming economy of the country. With tech firms thriving in the country, the number of openings for Canada tech jobs is also rising. As a country with one of the lowest unemployment rates, Canada is finding it difficult to fill the job openings in this sector. In 2017 alone, there were around 30,000 job openings in Canada. This situation projects vast opportunities for potential immigrants with experience in tech jobs.
Canada is planning to welcome one million immigrants between 2018 and 2020. Of these, around 60 per cent will be economic immigrants, who will be selected on the basis of their ability to become part of the Canadian workforce. This ability of potential immigrants is measured on the basis of a number of factors such as their age, work experience, language proficiency and education level.
It is hoped that these economic immigrants will be able to fill job openings in Canada’s bustling tech sector. It has also to be noted in this context that in 2017, the top three jobs for which immigrants were invited through Express Entry were tech-related. Computer programming, software engineering, and information systems analysis are the Canada tech jobs that were given high priority in Express Entry immigration.
At the same time, Canada is turning into a preferred destination among tech workers from across the world. Tech workers are finding it difficult to immigrate to the US owing to tougher H1-B visa rules and Canada is luring them with vast opportunities and lenient immigration rules.
Moreover, Toronto is emerging as a strong international technology hub, credited for having the fastest growing tech-sector in North America. It is also the most popular destination for new immigrants with 50 per cent of the total population being immigrants. Canada government has also launched special programs to help immigrants find employment in the city more easily.
