The Vancouver-based company Lululemon is promising 2600 new jobs over five years.

C.E.O Calvin McDonald says the company has secured an additional 125,000 square feet of office space in downtown Vancouver.

McDonald says he's confident in the decision after the federal government said the company could hire foreign workers for certain highly skilled positions without needing to apply for a labour market impact assessment.

Federal Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says if Ottawa hadn't acted, the company's headquarters may have left Vancouver.
