The country is attracting an exodus of tech workers from the U.S., with some Canadian companies seeing two to three times the number of applicants from a year earlier, according to an Axios report. A survey of 55 companies, conducted by MaRS, a research hub in Toronto, found that 53% of the companies said their international applications rose in 2017, with 82% of new applicants being from south of the border. According to the report, the applicants primarily worked in a variety of tech jobs, with 47% engineers, 24% data scientists and 10% researchers.
