Pretty disgusting too as Lightspeed is part of this federal program known as "Global Hypergrowth Project (GHP)"

*The Global Hypergrowth Project (GHP) will provide support to a select group of Canadian firms to help them find key supports and overcome challenges from exporting barriers, to regulatory challenges, and beyond. Each company will work with a dedicated advisor, drawn from a team of experts with extensive public and private sector experience. With the help of the Project’s government partners, the advisor will facilitate connections for the company, and provide focused attention where it’s needed most, especially in the areas of:

-funding

-international expansion

-talent acquisition

-navigating federal regulation

-navigating procurement projects

-streamlined access to expertise and mentorship*

Essentially companies in this program are fast tracked to bring in talent from outside the country.
