Defence & Government work isn't going anywhere.
Budgets in this sector tend to hold steady even when others shrink, and the demand for cleared developers keeps growing as legacy systems get modernised.
Montreal has quietly become one of the stronger hubs for this kind of work in North America, with a concentration of established players and long-term programmes.
Good developers with the right clearance don't stay on the market long.
