All the qualified Canadians move to the USA for USA incomes. Canada is going to be an immigration station for people companies want to bring in but can't get US visas for. Its already a thing.
- bregma 5y agoLike in America, few Canadians are ever going to move more than 50 km from where they were born and raised. Your precious jobs are still safe for the right kinds of people.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoI think this really isn't true for people who go into 'professional' careers. People who are in high-paying white-collar jobs are fairly willing to move.
- raydev 5y agoThis is already slightly out of date. Lots of Bay Area companies hiring in Canada and boosting salaries across the board + RSU grants. The wave started just before COVID and job openings are exploding.
- jonny_eh 5y ago> All the qualified Canadians move to the USA for USA incomes This is patently untrue. See how well Shopify is doing in Canada. > Canada is going to be an immigration station for people companies want to bring in but can't get US visas for. Its already a thing. This is true though!
- LegitShady 5y agoshopify is literally hiring kids still in school at Carleton and Yorke to fill their teams through their devdegree program because they can't get enough graduated and qualified coders who want to stay in canada.
- jonny_eh 5y agoOh no, they're giving comp sci students jobs!
- LegitShady 5y agoThat isn't bad in and of itself, merely that they're having so much trouble hiring they need to programs with multiple universities to get people to stay working for them. They have undergraduate students working on production - its not normal.
