America's Travel ban Beneficial for Canada's Tech Sector

      This article explains how the recent immigration ban implemented by Donald Trump opens up a potential window for Canada's technology sector to take advantage of this executive order. For example, firms located in Silicon Valley are frightened that these regulations will leave an impact on them by disrupting the hiring of foreign workers. The article explains how regions such as Waterloo do well in trying to recruit some of the worlds foreign talent. Mechanisms exist in order to connect skilled tech workers from the U.S. to employers in Canada, such as the Global Skills Strategy. This initiative was constructed in order to speed up the process of helping organizations and foreign skilled workers to relocate to Canada. Overall, the idea is that "we need your skills, come to Canada" (CBC, 2017).
      Of course there is the problem of funding and supporting this talented force of tech workers, along with competing with the benefits Silicon Valley had to offer. Canada has something the U.S. does not, and thats stability. The motive is clear that we work on a multi-cultural basis here in Canada and have been ranked one of the best places to live. In my opinion, I believe we will see the immigration of a talented workforce from heavy-hitter jurisdictions, such as Silicon Valley and Boston, in the near future.
Q: Do you believe Canada's (and Waterloo's) tech sector should take advantage of this opportunity and implement further initiatives such as the Global Skills Strategy? Or do you believe the order of America's immigration ban will keep their workers secured within their borders?
