Canada Launches Major Recruitment Drive for Skilled Workers Amid U.S. Immigration Restrictions
Canada has announced a significant initiative to attract highly skilled workers, including doctors, scientists, and researchers, as the United States imposes stricter immigration policies under President Trump. The Canadian government is investing $1.2 billion over a decade to enhance salaries, infrastructure, and grants to recruit over 1,000 professionals in critical fields. This move is seen as a response to the U.S. administration's increased scrutiny on foreign workers, particularly those holding H-1B visas. The Canadian plan includes an accelerated pathway for these visa holders, offering them a faster route to permanent residency. This initiative is part of a broader effort by Canada to counteract the 'brain drain' it has experienced, as many of its top talents have historically moved to the U.S. for better opportunities.
