Tech workers have plenty of options to migrate to Canada.
Foreign nationals need to have a work permit to migrate to Canada. Few of these are specifically tailored to tech workers. It is feasible for the tech professionals to apply for the PR in Canada straight away with going to Canada.
As per the studies, immigrants with Canadian work experience can have better labor market outcomes. They can make a significant or generous amount of money and are likely to be employed later in the first year reaching Canada.
Below is the list of Canadian work permit options for tech talents:
