The area has always attracted IT workers from all over the world, but the number of Americans moving to Canada has spiked.

The Toronto area has roughly 2,500 start-up companies specializing in high-tech. Applications from Americans wanting to work and live in Canada has increased.

The prime minister believes these individuals will make substantial contributions to the country’s economy. Contact Become a Canadian if you are interested in living and working in Canada!
