For immigrants and refugees to Canada wanting to work in IT or tech, it’s important to always think about strengthening your skills and knowledge. If you already hold a degree in computer science, you may consider a graduate degree or learning additional programming languages. You can do that through online learning modules and virtual bootcamps. Focus on skills that are in demand like Python, cloud technologies or programs focused on big data.
There are numerous education pathways you can explore to make yourself more competitive in the Canadian job market. IT, tech or digital marketing roles are not regulated professions in Canada so education requirements vary by employer and by position.
