Here's a wild guess... Is it possible that American companies are setting up in Canada just so they can hire globally? Because surely there aren't mostly Canadian tech companies, right?
- teetertater 4y agoDefinitely part of the reason. Canadian tech talent is about 50% cheaper compared to across the border, with roughly the same quality/training, language, time zones etc.
- rhaway84773 4y agoOur company has built a Canadian office entirely of Indian and Chinese employees it didn’t want to lose but were sick of waiting for a green card they were never getting. It will become our biggest North American employer of tech workers within a couple of years after having 0 employees as late as a couple of years before the pandemic. It’s been a pretty straightforward loss of millions of dollars of income taxes to the US exchequer every year, never mind the loss of consumption dollars, sales taxes, etc.
