Canada is making an aggressive effort to attract highly-skilled researchers from around the world, including H1-B visa holders in the United States who are coming under growing pressure because of the Trump administration’s restrictive immigration policies and cuts to research funding.
The Canadian government on Tuesday said it would spend more than $1 billion over the next few years to attract and retain scientists from around the world, including those at major hospitals and universities.
It also said that in coming months it would create an “accelerated pathway” for U.S. H1-B visa holders. H1-B visas are issued to highly skilled people working for American companies and are concentrated in major industries that compete for global talent, such as technology and medicine.
H1-B visas in the USA are just another way to hire cheap labour and otherwise skirt immigration scrutiny.
JESSICA VAUGHAN: Consular officers in India issued ~200 H-1B visas a day that were 80-90% fraudulent. Fake credentials, fake degrees, bribes paid; It is a deliberate scheme to replace American workers!

Imagine bragging about this – The University of Toronto, Canada’s top academic institution and one of the world’s highest-ranked universities, lured several top humanities and social sciences professors from Ivy League schools during the year.
