How Canada poached 10,000 tech workers from the U.S. — in just 48 hours::Canadian tech employers want the immigration ministry to extend the program launched last month — and it’s just common sense it should, David Olive writes.

That should tell you all you need right there; it’s not about increasing tech in Canada, it’s about lowering wages for IT people that are already in the market.
It’s a good thing for US tech workers because it seems to be mostly H1B’s. Will be Interesting if the US changes their policies.
Giving more options to H1B visa tech workers is great! In order for Canada to compete for all tech talent in the US though (including US citizens), Canadian tech companies will need to have much better salaries.
We spend billions subsidizing oil and gas, which are industries with dimming importance in the future. Meanwhile, we have some of the best artificial intelligence, computer science, cognitive science university programs in the world, and we send all of our graduates to the US.
We should nurture a tech sector in Canada, not just focus solely on natural resources.
I agree and want to add that Canada didn’t have the same kind of AI Winter that the US and other places experienced. There’s at least some finding, though as you said not nearly enough…
I wish I were financially and mentally in a position to take advantage of this program because life in the United States is shit.
If you can’t go to canada choose one of the nordic countries or most of europe. Alot cheaper to start there. Good luck king
Bureocracy with work permits and citizenship is straight out of Monty Pythons Brazil. At least in Finland. 6 month wait times are not uncommon.
Yeesh, that’s tough.
In general for a lot of people, just getting up and moving to a new country, let alone a different city/state in the the US, is financially off the table. At least that’s how I see it.
Yes absolutely, it’s still financially easier to go to a country that values citizens and has high population density.
There’s rumoured to be an immigration window that will be opened if a Christo-Fascist gets elected. This should be in the Scandinavian countries.
That’s so funny Canada is capitalizing on American racism
Well… americans do love high rent… lol
Good, we don’t want them
How to end up like Russia :
“Human capital and brain drain 101”If I could drop two bombs, the second one would be on Silicon Valley. Tech “workers” are a scourge on society.
Mate, the only reason why you can spew nonsense on the internet is because of tech workers. Go back to your cave.
