Yes, that's the one.
Yes, but are they not growing so fast they could use 1k people in Calgary?
I don't remember exact figures, I read about them in the G+M some time in the last two months.

Huawei is moving its R&D centre from the U.S. to Canada, but does Canada want it?
Security and political experts say further Canadian expansion by Huawei brings tough questions as the tech giant looks to relocate its research and development centre from Silicon Valley to Canada, due to sanctions imposed by Washington.
