Overview

Canada is one of the top IT outsourcing destinations in the world and one of the largest providers of outsourcing services to the USA. Geographic proximity to the United States, political stability, and similarities in laws, language and business culture have contributed to Canada's emergence as a primary nearshore outsourcing destination for U.S. businesses. Canada employs around 150,000 workers devoted to outsourcing projects originating in the US. Canada has a high availability of extremely skilled IT resources, a stable workforce with lower attrition rates than other major outsourcing countries, and the same time zones as USA. Canadians are also familiar with American business processes and have a similar culture and language to the USA.
