There was once a time when companies could offer a good salary, health benefits, vacation time, and a retirement package, and that was enough for most people. Today, company executives realize that in order to get the best talent, they need to offer even more perks. In Canada, there are loads of companies that people from all over the world want to work for, because they offer so many perks. Here is a small sampling.

Here is a company that definitely doesn’t discriminate when it comes to age. The team ranges in age from 18 to 62 years.

Childcare benefits are terrific, and flexible work hours are offered to accommodate those who have children.
