I’ve had a chance to speak to a few government officials here and I can see how serious they are about taking full advantage of the current situation in the US to attract talent to Toronto.

Even at the Federal level things are heating up for example the last government had changed some rules like made it harder to get PR and citizenship. The current government had reversed all those changes and made PR faster.

IMO this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Canada (and EU) because it’s usually tough to poach talent out of the US.
