After the outbreak of the epidemic, Canada's technology industry played an important role in Canada's economic recovery.
The thousands of skilled foreign workers employed by these industries each year indirectly play an indispensable role in economic recovery.
in a white paper report titled "After Viral: How Canadian tech startups drive COVID-19 recovery" mentioned:
"Canadian economic sectors rely on technology companies to meet their needs in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data privacy, e-commerce, clean technology and advanced manufacturing."
these tech companies are growing against the trend during the epidemic.
Just like companies that developed against the trend during the economic depression in 2008,
They are either ready to meet new market demands or can adjust their business in time to adapt to changes caused by sudden outbreaks.
However, there are vacancy in Canada in the field of high-skilled talents. Here are the situations of companies that are expected to continue to develop during the epidemic.

A good choice for immigrating scientific and technological talents
As the report pointed out, the outbreak of the epidemic has accelerated the global demand for technology, and everything digital has become a daily necessity for people.
This promotes the rapid development of technology companies, and these companies promote employment and economic growth, and employment requires a large number of foreign technical talents.
However, labor shortage in the Canadian technology sector has always been a long-term problem, so many companies are actively seeking foreign technical talents.
Canada has proposed some Canadian immigration plans to cope with labor shortages to facilitate companies that need to hire foreign technical talents and foreign technical talents who hope to settle in Canada permanently.
Canada Global Talent Project GTS
This project provides a two-week work visa for foreign high-tech talents, so as to facilitate these technology companies to bring these talents as soon as possible.
According to these technology companies, candidates recruited from abroad can take them to Canada in the same month.
Two categories of this project
A Class: Applicable to the unique professional talents needed by high-growth companies recommended by partners designated by GTS.
As of June 2019, the list of designated recommended partners for employers outside in in Quebec includes the following organizations. This list is updated regularly.
B category: Applicable to certain highly skilled foreign workers who want to engage in occupations found in the Global Talent Occupation List.
These occupations have been identified as large demand and their domestic labor supply is insufficient.
This list may be updated regularly to respond to labor market demand.
Since the launch of the project in 2017, it has brought a total of 7359 people to Canada through GTS, with 3968 people last year.
Currently, due to the closure of the Biometric Center, only US citizens can come to Canada through GTS.
[ Ontario Technology Pilot Project] is prepared for immigration candidates with experience in specific technology related work, and they must first have personal information in the EE system.
In January this year, Ontario invited 954 people to apply for the Canadian permanent residence province nomination.
[BC Province Technology Pilot Project] is prepared for immigration candidates who provide jobs in one of the 29 technical professions. The province invites candidates to apply for provincial nominations almost every week.
Their advantage is that as long as they obtain provincial nominations through provincial nomination programs related to express entry, they can effectively ensure that they are invited to stay permanently in the federal express entry lottery.
Because the provincial nomination automatically provides them with 600 points of CRS points.
Any applicants who have obtained a GTS visa can basically obtain Canadian PR status, because the applicant conditions for holding it can easily meet the Canadian provincial nomination or federal CEC immigration requirements.
If you happen to be the person you need above, you can consider this opportunity.
