Amazon opens opportunities to work in Canada, recruitment in progress!

Amazon is hiring in Canada; quite a large number of tech workers to work in Canada. This recruitment drive by the tech giant is a result of Canada’s progressive policies for Canada immigration.

The tightened immigration scene in the US and a simultaneous open and welcoming Canada have sort of drawn people more towards Canada. So, Canada has been maintaining its practice of making immigration policies that attract more global talent to come, live, study, and work in Canada.

Canada is found to have 6 times the skilled immigrants that the US has when compared on a ratio drawn with the respective size of the population.

In fact, US policymakers have already been warned by Chris Albinson, a venture capitalist, He warned that Canada is in a position to dominate the tech sector, thanks to Canada immigration policies that fuel this scenario.

The Trump era, the arrest of immigration, and aftermath on recruitment

It’s well-known to the world the temperament under which the US transformed under former US President Donald Trump. The US came down hard on immigration, and an extreme pro-US attitude was making the immigration scene less hopeful by the day.

However, at the same time, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau welcomed even more immigrants and became an even better alternative when immigrants had a lack of faith in US immigration for a while.

The polling giant Gallup released a report that highlighted the difference in immigration policies made by the leaders of these 2 countries.

Canada was diligently chasing the target of admitting over 1 million Canada PR visa holders by the end of 2021 until it became absolutely necessary to take a halt due to the extreme COVID-19 situation. However, the situation hasn’t reduced the country’s enthusiasm and Canada immigration targets are increasing by the year.

In the US, at the same time, the Trump administration had cut down legal immigration nearly by half.

Thanks to what Canada did very right regarding immigration, the country’s tech sector is registering a boom due to the increased influx of tech-skilled immigrants to the country.

The history of this progression in Canada can be traced back several years. Between 2013 and 2019, the number of tech jobs created was 80,000 in the Toronto-Waterloo Corridor alone! That was more than what was found in San DC, San Francisco, Washington, and Seattle together.

The next generation is routing for inclusion when it comes to immigration and career opportunities, which Canada is offering a lot.
