What's the outlook on the Canadian job market for mid 2026? I am exploring the possibility of a Master in Data Science in Canada, but I'm worried I might not even land a job given news, tiktoks & reddit posts I've seen regarding particularly computer science -and I'm just a business major that's worked in finance.

Are you already in Canada?
How many YOE do you have and where (country) is that experience from?

Years of experience and where you got that experience matters in Canadian job market.
10 YOE in Canada with big multinationals or reputable companies vs 5 YOE in your home country with unknown firms is the difference between a six figure salary and doing uber/walmart/instacart and grinding your way out for multiple years.
