There are no big companies in Toronto that have tech jobs. Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Uber, etc. don't have tech jobs in Toronto. Amazon just started adding tech jobs in Toronto in the past maybe year or two and Shopify is the only exception to this rule. If any toronto natives know of some big companies in Toronto with tech jobs please prove me wrong.

Google has very few jobs in downtown TO, though tons in KW. Square has jobs in KW. I know Apple is hiring some JS devs in Toronto as well.

Not quite Toronto, but Google has a number of software engineering openings at Waterloo. https://careers.google.com/jobs#t=sq&q=j&li=20&l=false&jlo=en-US&jl=43.4642578%3A-80.5204096%3AWaterloo%2C+ON%2C+Canada%3ACA%3A%3A5.732112535543975%3ALOCALITY&jld=20&jcoid=7c8c6665-81cf-4e11-8fc9-ec1d6a69120c&jcoid=e43afd0d-d215-45db-a154-5386c9036525&jcoid=4ce051e9-0861-4457-ae74-ed29d709e6d9&jcoid=db402fa7-80f9-417e-90f8-cabc095ab328&jcoid=4da87eaf-2d83-4e44-aec5-3277162353f3&jcoid=368ee4a3-8f63-4554-b52c-8c5ad137a48a&jcoid=8e95bc8e-bc66-4a8f-a30c-4be6e037beab&jcoid=65a96848-6a90-403f-b350-76dcbf787382&jcoid=7143c4f4-17a1-4061-a066-69aafca4467b&jc=SOFTWARE_ENGINEERING& https://careers.google.com/jobs#t=sq&q=j&li=20&l=false&jlo=e...

Amazon has had a development office in Toronto since at least 2013.

I'm not sure if you'd count IBM, but they have their Toronto Software Lab here. It's technically in Markham now, but if it were on the south side of Steeles instead of the north side, it would be in Toronto proper. AMD also still has a large office in Markham in what used to be ATI headquarters. I've seen a few articles about Apple hiring developers in Toronto, so there's that too. Maybe Waterloo is a bit too far away to count, but Google has a fairly big engineering office there.

Plenty! Muse, Google, Facebook, Softchoice, IBM, ALL major banks have a tech arm now, like Scotia Banks Digital Factory, CIBC Live Labs ,etc., and other tech companies, Flip, Wave, Freshbooks, Wattpad (raised major vc money), Ritual (raised 75m this year), TribalScale, Worktango, just to name a few.

  Google has an engineering office in Toronto? Are you sure you're not thinking of kitchener-waterloo?

    I'm pretty sure Google Brain has a strong presence in Toronto.

Amazon has an office, scaling up quickly. UberATG (self driving) has an office. Shopify has a huge presence. People say google, but it's really a marketing office with <20 engineers.

Microsoft and HP are in Mississauga, Honeywell and IBM are in Markham. Uber has a small office right in my neighbourhood. Rakuten Kobo is in the neighbourhood as well. Nvidia is downtown, but their office is relatively small. There are a few. Most large ones are in the suburbs. Downtown has an overwhelming amount of VC-funded ad-tech companies that I wouldn't go near if my living depended on it. (I'd take up something else to cover the bills...)
