As Donald Trump hikes the fee for a popular skilled worker visa programme in the US, lawyers and business experts are urging Canada to seize the moment and open its doors.
But some caution that those looking north as an alternative may find that Canada’s immigration system has its own challenges.
The call to attract and retain talented workers left behind by the Trump administration’s changes to H-1B visa is one that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to be paying attention to.
I also appreciate yours. I think a fair number of opponents to h1B are just purely rooted in racism/xenophobia.
This is a case where I wanna hear “what do we replace it with?” From someone before I decide if we’re on the same page or not.
You don’t. That’s the false dichotomy. It never should have existed in the first place. It’s just human trafficking with extra steps.
All immigration is human trafficking?
No, the H1B program specifically. For all practical purposes. Like modern sharecroppers.
So if someone said “it should be replaced with straight immigration and citizenship” …?
