Canada's $1.2 Billion Initiative to Attract Talent Amid U.S. H-1B Visa Fee Increase
Canada has announced a $1.2 billion initiative to attract top researchers and skilled workers, coinciding with the U.S. decision to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applicants. This Canadian investment aims to recruit over 1,000 individuals in critical fields such as science and medicine over the next 12 years. The initiative is part of Canada's strategy to bolster its position in global research and innovation. Meanwhile, the U.S. fee increase, introduced by President Trump, is intended to encourage domestic hiring but may deter international talent from seeking opportunities in the U.S.
