Canada is Unique
Filed in archive Outsourcing News by on April 14, 2004
Outsourcing issues in Canada seems to have a unique perspective. While U.S. companies are now considering to outsource to Canada, Canadian companies might find a haven for their jobs elsewhere.

Quoted from PricewaterhouseCoopers:

The study found that Canada can retain and build its advantages as a "nearshore" outsourcing provider to U.S., and even European firms. "Our overall labour costs put Canada midway between the U.S. and India, and we have other advantages like geographic proximity to the U.S. market," said Scott. "But a lot more focus is needed if Canada's nearshore IT services industry is to keep pace with job losses in other areas. We found that if no action is taken at least 75,000 of Canada's current 550,000 IT jobs could migrate offshore by 2010, but with right actions, IT jobs could increase by 165,000."

The full studies can be downloaded from their site.
