I'm a contractor and last year my agency said there would be layoffs, which caused quite a scare, but in the end only contractors residing in Canada were affected.
Nobody I know who is good that I know works for Canadian companies if they can be avoided. I'm not sure what happened with your agency, probably costs involved hiring foreigners via services like remote.com or other?
