Canada seize opportunity !

Canada's tech scene is hopeful the executive order will help bring much needed

talent to the sector north of the border.

Canadian firms see an opportunity to lure talent even as they struggle with the

impact of the ban on their business, and are seeking a fast-track visa to help them

bring top candidates to cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.  

The US policy has had repercussions for the global tech industry.

A group of 97 US tech firms have filed a legal document stating that President Trump

immigration ban affects their operations and "inflicts significant harm" on business.

The amicus brief

which allows parties not directly involved in a case to give their view,

includes Silicon Valley giants like Apple, Facebook and Microsoft.

Stephen Green, a specialist in immigration law said his company has been

fielding calls over the past few days from start-ups looking to set up shop

in Canada and global companies interested in increasing their presence

in the country "because we have predictability here".  8)

Canadian firms say their doors are wide open for tech talent left out in the cold :-*

Not only the talents will leave, the US companies will now further expand their offshore campuses in order to retain talents.  Watch out for US companies expanding in Canada.
