Canada welcomed more than 32,000 technology workers through migration in the past year, due largely in part to a more immigration-friendly national policy and a labour cost advantage, according to a recent report.
Specifically, between April 2022 and March 2023, 32,115 new workers came to Canada, report The Technology Councils of North America (TECNA) and Canada’s Tech Network (CTN).
