OTTAWA — Shopify is bulking up its presence and workforce on Canada’s West Coast with a plan to hire 1,000 people in Vancouver and open its first permanent office there. They will work from a four-floor, 6,500-square-metre space set to open at Four Bentall Centre in downtown Vancouver by late 2020. “We feel we have the capacity and the brand name and the amount of product work to do that.” Thornton and other Vancouver Shopify workers currently work from a WeWork space across the street from Four Bentall Centre.
