I can’t even count the number of times I have been asked this from a prospective immigrant – “What’s the scope of XYZ in Canada?”. I have always maintained this – if you are in IT and Digital, then Canada is a great place to be. And now, I have numbers from StatCan to support this.
At $109 bn, Canada’s Digital Economy is a great opportunity for newcomers
Canada’s Digital economy now contributes 5.5% of the total GDP with nearly 900,000 jobs in 2017, as per StatCan. This presents a great opportunity for new immigrants with a digital background.
