'Over 15K techies moved to Canada in 12 months'

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: A new report shows that a total of 15,097 Indian tech workers moved to Canada between April 2022 and March 2023.

This is the highest number of tech workers from any country to move to Canada in a single year. The report, published by the Technology Councils of North America and Canada's Tech Network, attributed the move to Canada's immigration-friendly national policy and labour cost advantage.

Canada has a points-based immigration system that makes it relatively easy for skilled workers to immigrate to the country.
