A report by Randstad Canada has revealed that Developers and Programmers and IT Project Manager will be two of the most in demand IT jobs in Canada in the coming decade. Information Technology is currently the fastest growing industry in Canada. Though it is challenging for the Canadian employers to meet the labour demands of a sector that grows at such a rapid pace, it opens numerous lucrative tech jobs in Canada for foreigners.
Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are a few of the best Canadian cities for tech jobs. These cities are also booming in some of the most promising tech disciplines such as AI, clean tech and cloud computing. Canada is currently the fastest growing IT job market in the world and has already overtaken Silicon Valley in the US.
The Canadian provinces are taking several measures to meet the growing demand for tech talents in their job markets. British Columbia has extended its tech pilot program to June 2020 and Ontario has also started conducting draws exclusively for tech workers.
Information Technology jobs in Canada also continue to have some of the most competitive salaries in Canada. The average annual salary of a tech professional in Canada for 2020 is an estimated $81,750. The lowest average salary is $55,000 and the highest average salary is $140,000.
