Over 82,000 tech positions were added over that time frame making it North America’s fastest- growing tech region, surprising many in the United States.
US President Donald Trump has made it harder for skilled foreigners to relocate to the US, fearing they could undercut the homegrown workforce. The administration has also tightened the requirements for obtaining an H-1B visa and threatened to halt spouses of workers on these permits to get a job.

In less than twelve months, over 12,000 people applied, and 95 percent were accepted. Canada welcoming immigrants is nothing new to the country.
