There’s an almost even split when it comes to work location preferences in Canada, but a strong swing away from full-time, five-daya-week office work among people who have tried out working from home. Among those who were shifted to working from home during the pandemic, only 8% want to go back to the traditional model, and the number drops to just 4% among those who were already working from home before the pandemic.
