A Toronto immigration lawyer says the time is ripe for Canada's technology sector to take advantage of the uncertainty created by a recent clampdown on immigration by President Donald Trump. "You've got some highly skilled people in the United States now that are quite candidly stuck or can't come back into into SIlicon Valley if they left," he said. "There is tremendous uncertainty in the United States with respect to people from various parts of the world and everyone's thinking 'wow, will I be the next group?" Green said the mechanisms exist in order to transfer highly-sought after skilled tech workers to Canada quickly and easily with programs such as the Global Skills Strategy, which is currently under review by the federal Liberal government. "Really, the company should be letting everybody know 'we need your skills, come to Canada,'" he said.
