Canada will need 250,000 digital workers by 2025: Are we ready?

Even amidst the ongoing fears of a recession, Canada’s digital economy keeps growing.
ICTC, which stands for Information and Communications Technology Council, has forecasted that Canada will require an additional 250,000 jobs in the digital economy, to reach a total of roughly 2.3 million digital workers by 2025.
Are Canada’s ambitious immigration plans, which include bringing 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025, enough to help fill this demand?
Or should the country follow the lead of other countries like Hong Kong, which has created an expedited immigration process for blockchain professionals, data scientists, and cybersecurity analysts, among others?
