Toronto is the largest North American tech hub outside the US and carries the fastest senior-eng work permit on the continent — GTS at a two-week SLA. Capital is tighter than in the US, so versatile product engineers who code, manage and ship win every search. Fauzul has 4+ years of Canadian client delivery and has already lived in the city.
