For students in information and communications technology (ICT) programs and new graduates entering the   
job market, it is essential to understand how new technologies are being embraced in Canadian technology   
workplaces, what effects these tools are having on ICT tasks and roles, and how to navigate a shifting labour   
market. With the technology sector adopting AI quickly, technology occupations might also see early impact   
from AI automation.

This report asks whether ICT workers in Canada are experiencing changes to their jobs because of   
automation, and it aggregates career advice for ICT students in light of industry trends. It examines the   
impact of AI productivity tools on core ICT occupations in Canada, which currently employ 1.1 million   
Canadians. It uses new data from an employer survey, interviews with early AI adopters, and labour market   
information to understand the implications of AI adoption on Canada’s ICT labour market.
