“We’re moving to Canada.”
In media coverage and casual conversations with CEOs, investors and skilled professionals, this sentiment is brought up constantly. I’m not surprised. With the state of the European Union after the Brexit vote, and the possibility of a Trump presidency in the United States, it’s easy to see why people might look to Canada as a haven from the uncertainty bubbling around the world.
While some people are clearly exaggerating their desire to pull up stakes, there is evidence that many skilled professionals are seriously considering moving to Canada right now. This offers Canadian startups an unprecedented opportunity.
