As Trump Tightens Legal Immigration, Canada Woos Tech Firms
Will Canada prevail in the competition for high tech labor from around the world? Liz Robbins for the New York Times reports that an artificial intelligence start-up was recently looking to expand, adding new engineers who happened to know a niche computer language. The people it hired hail from Morocco, Belarus, France, Georgia and Canada. But they are not working in the United States. They are in Montreal, where immigration policies make it possible to get work permits within two weeks, and the Canadian tech industry is aggressively trying to woo foreign companies.
