Why immigrants, students and U.S. companies are going to Canada:
. “More than half of those did both. Another 65% of hiring professionals said Canada’s immigration policies are more favorable to U.S. employers than U.S. policies. Of those surveyed, 38% are thinking about expanding to Canada, while 21% already have at least one office there.”
While a number of such “tech refugees” regret that they cannot stay in Silicon Valley, those with families appreciate that in Canada their spouses can get “open” work permits, their children can go to public schools and the family will be covered by universal public healthcare. They also appreciate that a clear path to permanent residence is available to them, likely after a year of working in Canada.H-1B visa cases filed without premium processing can take U.S.
As I’ve noted previously, if the United States adopted the same immigration system as Canada, then the president of the United States, via the Secretary of Homeland Secretary, could set the level of legal immigration in a given year at zero, 500,000 or 5 million, whichever level he prefers.
Canadian governments, Conservative and Liberal, over the past few decades have all been keen supporters of steadily raising immigration levels as an economic tool, with an emphasis on attracting skilled immigrants. Currently, our annual immigrant intake represents 1% of our population and, on a per capita basis, is 3 times that of the United States.
