U.S. companies attracted to salary subsidies in Montreal

Montreal-based IT recruitment agency Kovasys Inc. receives frequent phone calls
from U.S.-based IT companies looking to expand operations in the city, and
acquire local IT talent. It's a surge in interest the director of operations
Alex Kovalenko credits to employee salary subsidies for high-tech companies,
introduced by the Government of Quebec last year. ....

....Courtois said the fact that IT companies operating in Montreal have the
advantage of tax credits for employee salaries, specifically for developers,
means that the kinds of operations that would be attracted to the city are those
who do application development.
