Canada Tech Job Vacancies: 14 Roles Over 18 Quarters, Built on StatCan and Indeed Data
RichardsonDx · x · 2026-11-12
The author analyzed 18 quarters of vacancy data (back to 2022) across 14 tech roles using StatCan table 14-10-0444-01 (unadjusted; the only seasonally adjusted figure, 510,200 vacancies, is labeled separately), pulled via StatCan's data API with CRED.
Data gaps themselves yielded insights: Canadian official data doesn't count PMs, product designers, or FDEs — no PM code exists in the StatCan table, and FRED's Canada series cover only the national index and broad sectors. Triangulated with Indeed Hiring Lab Canada (software postings and AI mentions) and Job Bank outlooks; city ranks use CBRE and remote shares use Robert Half, both clearly labeled as private data.
