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.
Even if you had houses and condos for days you don’t want H1B tech workers. They’re semi-skilled slaves, any job they can do a Canadian could do.
The H1B system is glorified slavery yes, but that doesn’t mean H1B workers aren’t valuable. You just gotta import them in a way that gives them human rights.
Not sure if this is yrue, but either way that’s the thing about declining birthrates: There aren’t enough Canadians to go around. Until a structural solution to that is implemented, foreign labor in all sectors is necessary to keep the Canadian economy (and every other first world economy) from retracting.
I would love to move to Canada, but H1B just hurts locals unless there is an actual shortage of talent.
It’s not that they aren’t valuable it’s more they aren’t particularly skilled so they just further hollow out the middle class AI is already eating. You have a lot of better options that don’t purely profit mega corps
