Canada's Most In-Demand And Hardest-To-Fill Tech Jobs
Canada is in desperate need of tech workers.
A study released last year found the country will create an estimated 218,000 new tech jobs by 2020, but there aren’t enough people with the right skills to fill them.
Canada’s education system is graduating about 29,000 new tech workers a year, but needs to graduate around 43,000 to keep up with demand, the study estimated.
The federal government is aware of the problem. It responded last month with the Global Skills Strategy — essentially an expansion of the foreign worker visa program, making it easier and faster to bring high-skilled workers into the country.
Long story short, developers are both the most sought-after employees, and the hardest positions to fill are developer roles as well.
"Canada is not only known for it's picturesque locations, but also for it's high standard of education. The Colleges in Canada are at par with the best known Colleges in the world, in terms of the educational programs offered and the facilities provided to the students " , says Mr. Deepak, Education Manager, Career XL Services..
