When Google announced late January it would lay off 12,000 workers globally, it started with U.S. employees while those in other countries, including Canada, waited in suspense to see if they would keep their jobs.

The suspense ended Monday, with Google Canada sending out notice to  Canadian employees. Spokesperson Lauren Skelly declined to say how many Canadians were laid off or to give other details.
