No. I think it is immigration from Asia (China and India) and maybe also Eastern Europe. Most of the women I see doing coding are Asian.

The source table only breaks down the data by age and gender, making it impossible to determine if your intuition is correct. Sorry.

It's not intuition. I am a manager in big tech. I see the resumes that come in and who work in our offices and at other locations. Call it a very good sample size based on 20 years in the industry. THe number of women have increased, but they are primarily not who you think they are. It's good for Canada's economy. I think it's not the increase people were targeting. Most of these people got their bachelor's in their native country.
