Perhaps it's just coincidence, but in the past year searches for jobs in Canada on the website Monster.com have jumped 58 percent. Money magazine reported Wednesday that, per Monster, keyword searches on the job search engine involving the word "Canada" have gone from "from 19,693 in 2015 to 30,296 through October 2016."
Engineers seem particularly interested in the prospect of migrating up north. Openings for "civil engineers, mechanical engineers, software engineers, and chemical engineers" in Canada garnered the most searches, though IT workers were also checking out job prospects in Canada, Money reported. Bankers, salespeople, and human resources professionals seem the least concerned with searching for work in Canada, at least per Monster's search data.
