Canada’s top tech jobs forecast for 2020

By Shelby Thevenot

A look at the tech jobs projected to be in high demand, and the skilled-tech worker's employers will be hiring this year.

The high demand for tech talent in Canada is rolling into 2020 as experts start to predict the sector’s outlook for the new year.

Shortages in the technology sector labour market have prompted immigration programs in British Columbia and Ontario to step up recruiting efforts. In 2019 the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) extended its tech pilot to June 2020, and the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) started holding draws specifically for immigration candidates with tech experience.

“There are not enough [skilled workers] to fill those positions… There’s really a shortage of labour,” Patrick Poulin, president of the staffing division of Randstad Canada, told CIC News. “It’s definitely a key asset to have immigrants coming in to fill those positions. It’s super important.”

Randstad Canada, a human resources consulting firm, released its predictions for 2020 on the top in-demand tech jobs in Canada, as well as in-demand skills and salaries.

The technology sector offers some of the most competitive salaries in Canada. For 2020, the average annual salary is an estimated $81,750.

Low-earners in this field can expect to earn an average salary of $55,000, and the highest earners may bring home $140,000 or more.

Tech talent continues to be highly sought after in major urban centres like Toronto, Montréal, and Vancouver.

“If you have tech skills (in particular the ability to code in popular languages such as Java, python, or various C-based languages), you’ll have your pick of employers in many of Canada’s largest cities!” the Randstad webpage said.

In-demand tech jobs

The following eight positions are expected to be highly sought after in Canada, according to Randstad:

Developers and Programmers

Full-stack developers with front and back end skills are especially sought-after though coding and programming skills are in high demand everywhere. Employers will be seeking skilled developers with knowledge of programming languages such as Java, Python, and .NET.

IT Project Manager

The demand for this position has grown in Canada since last year. Employers are looking for those with project management skills, specifically PMP, PMI, or Agile Certified professionals.

Quality Assurance Analyst

Another position that is expected to be in-demand this year. Quality assurance analysts ensure the software is user-friendly and bug-free.

Data Analyst

Data analysts make sense of the massive amounts of information that companies collect to run their businesses. Demand for this position is expected to grow as businesses increasingly rely on data.

IT Business Analyst

Analysts who specialize in tech and software analysis will be in especially high demand this year. Their role is to shape and optimize business systems and software to make them operate effectively.

Senior Software Engineer

The demand for coding skills and developers is particularly intense at the senior level. Randstad says, “Employers are looking for candidates who already have a lot of experience, rather than hiring and developing their own junior and intermediate software engineers.”

Network Administrator

Network administrators make sure everything runs smoothly for both employees and customers. They oversee their employer’s IT network and setup, manage servers, and network equipment.

Technical Support Specialist

Tech-savvy workers with skills in customer support are expected to be in high demand this year. As the use of technology becomes more prevalent in everyday life, so does the need for professionals who can provide assistance and support to businesses and customers that are experiencing technical, hardware, or software issues.

What is Canada’s Student Direct Stream?

by Kelly Acheson

Launched by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in June 2018, the Student Direct Stream (SDS) is an expedited study permit application stream for international students who want to pursue higher education in Canada. IRCC developed this program to support the rapid growth of international student applications. The main benefit of the SDS for applicants is that it offers more efficient study permit processing times.

Eligible applicants must meet specific criteria, however. These requirements are explained below. Keep reading to see if you qualify for the SDS!

Who Is Eligible for the SDS?

First, applicants must intend to study at a designated post-secondary learning institution (DLI) in Canada. You can find a complete list of Canadian DLIs here.

Second, applicants must meet certain language, medical, and financial criteria. Specifically, applicants must provide documentation upfront showing that they are able to succeed academically and support themselves financially while studying in Canada.

Furthermore, SDS applicants must legally reside in one of the following countries:

China
India
The Philippines
Vietnam
Pakistan
Morocco
Senegal

If a student is a citizen of one of the seven countries listed above, but they aren’t currently living there, they are not eligible for the SDS. To apply for the program, the student must also be residing in the country.

Does the SDS Replace IRCC’s Regular Study Permit Stream?

The SDS does not replace IRCC’s regular study permit program. It is simply an expedited stream. If a student applies for the SDS, but does not qualify, then their application is processed under regular processing procedures.

How to Apply for the SDS

International students must apply online for the SDS. Alongside their electronic application, students must submit the following documents:

A copy of their acceptance letter from a post-secondary DLI
A copy of their upfront medical exam confirmation document (if required)
A police certificate (if required)
Proof that they have a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of $10,000 CAN
Proof that they have paid the tuition fees for their first year of study
A copy of their most recent educational transcript
Proof that they have completed a language test showing either:
- A score of at least 6 for English on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or
- A score of at least 7 for French on the Test d’Evaluation de Français (TEF)

More information about the supporting documents necessary for the SDS application can be found on the IRCC website.

What’s Next for the SDS?

Plans are in the works to expand the SDS over the next five years. This expansion will include a new application service that will provide a single, streamlined experience for international students. This means students will be able to apply for a study permit, temporary resident visa, or work permit for a co-op term, all in one place. For more information about the SDS, and to find out whether you qualify, visit the IRCC website.
