Correct me if I am wrong, but I think OP meant American companies, shopify and RIM are Canadian.

Although the core crowd here is computer/software engineers, there is a small minority of hardware engineers which might find this list helpful:

  • Intel
  • AMD
  • Qualcomm
  • Couple of AI H/W startups
  • Huawei (not exactly SV but H/W nonetheless)
  • Infinera
  • Microsemi
  • Ciena

Awesome. Thank you for looking out for the non software engineers too! I see most conversations centered only around software jobs and companies.
Good to know about these.

I had clubbed Waterloo with Toronto but you are right it deserve a separate mention. It’s near to Toronto but not that close either and has its own ecosystem.

I’m going to add Shopify to the list even though its Canadian but its NYSE listed and similar in culture to valley companies. We (MOVNorth) work closely with them, they are hiring for Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

There is an opening suitable for my husband in Toronto Microsoft. Can you please let us know if you know anyone there? My husband would like to go through some reference… Kindly request your help in this matter @vik, @avj

I don’t really know anyone personally at Microsoft Toronto. If I come across any opening I will definitely keep you posted. Maybe send the resume through message.

Thanks a lot for the quick response… Did u mean sending the resume here? I would like to send it to you personally if possible…

I meant personal message.

I do not know anyone in Toronto who could help in your situation. Please excuse the delay in responding.

You forgot about Lyft! We have offices in Montreal and Vancouver and a few driver hubs around Ottawa, Vancouver, and Toronto.

Hello, Is there anyone here who works in Google/Facebook in GTA area?

Thanks, I assume it’s pretty recent as it was only operations before. Also, Pinterest recently started hiring engineers for their Toronto office, they’ve listed roles on MOV North hire if anyone’s interested.

Hey anyone can help with any IT companies in Saskatchewan by any chance?

I am a PNP Candidate and just received my PPR. So was thinking of looking for a job while in USA.
