Despite many sectors taking a massive hit in recent years, Canada’s game animation industry is growing, with ample jobs for college and university grads.

Canada is currently one of the world’s top three game producing nations. Our gaming industry has grown by 11 per cent annually in recent years, and is forecasted to grow 17 per cent in each of the next two years. Experts point to our combination of talent and tax breaks as the reasons for Canada’s strong international presence.

“Ontario continues to offer the talent and the financial incentives that make this region such a strong part of the digital entertainment industry,” said Larry MacKinnon, Director of Business Development for Technology in London Ontario and member of the Ontario Technology Corridor

“Our job at GamesCom is to add to our tremendous home-grown crop of companies and help demonstrate that Ontario is a prime destination in North America for gaming investments.”

There are also a number of highly respected and highly recruited animation schools in Canada. Students can study at schools such as Max the Mutt, triOS College, Academy of Design and Technology, Trillium College, and The Art Institute – Vancouver.

Many of these schools provide flexible schedules and financial assistance for their students.
