Canada Tech job opportunities

Feb 4, 2021 37 Comments

Any idea into the job market in Canada for tech employees? A lot of people seem skeptical about opportunities there, but the immigration system seems so much better.!

I have a friend trying to move from Wipro India to Canada while his Express Entry is in progress and he's running into dead ends. I'd appreciate some tips for Canada job search

    Most of the US big company offices in Canada are also just a front. No meaningful work happens there. It is just a H1 lottery reject refugee camp. If you are moving from US, UK is a better place to go.

      At least from Google's perspective, there is nothing important happening in Canada. There are limited opportunities for growth. Also, this was the case before covid. People working remotely for US teams from Canada doesn't count.

    • Yeah, google is behind in embracing remote work. Of course it counts if fb employees work remotely in Canada for “us teams”

      What are you talking? You are clearly sick. I have a few friends and personally know a lot of people who worked in WITCH companies and then moved on to FAANG or similar tier companies.

      I did not refer to 'ITC', i just referred to the WH in your WITCH 😏 and a few others. Also, if you refer to my comment, I did not say it's an impossible bunch, its just tough for them, most of them and for the rest with perseverance.

    As google said it’s a waiting game to get H1 that’s it. Move to UK if your leaving the US

    Plenty of opps. Most of the US big companies have offices in Toronto or Vancouver. There’s also a healthy start up ecosystem that’s growing. TC will be lower than any equivalent role in the states, but still much higher than salaries in non tech sectors in Canada. I don’t know anything about the immigration process though

    Good to know about Shopify.. How about if someone is moving from India? Is UK still a better option than Canada?
