I always assumed relocation since I remember hearing that at any given time there is often a hard time finding strong talent.
From what I've seen, Google staffs KW heavily with people that can't get US visas. I work for a SF-based company, and we've lost some people who have expiring visas to Google. They end up getting offered KW (or sometimes Montreal).
Google definitely recruits locally, but I'd bet 30-50% will be filled by people new to Canada.
That's really interesting. Are work visas that much harder to get in the US?
