How do Canadian companies recruit talent to Go North? (Facebook Live chat)

Go North Canada

There’s no question that talent remains a hot topic of conversation in Canadian tech. With the upcoming fast-track visa as part of the federal government’s Global Skills Strategy, and recent… political changes south of the border, interest amongst Canadian tech leaders to convince potential hires to ‘Go North’ has never been higher.

There’s also the small fact that Canada needs more talent to help scale its companies globally, and fill the 218,000 new ICT positions that will reportedly be open by 2020.

But what’s the process for attracting and immigrating tech talent to Canada from around the world? What are the pitfalls? Are there Trump cards at play?
