Canada plans brain drain of H-1B visa holders, with no-job, no-worries permits
These are exactly the kind of immigrants any country should be desperate to have.<p>The majority of costs a person will typically have on a country are their initial K-12 education, and their health care costs later in life. Immigrants like these will never cost the government that first major cost.<p>At the same time, they are far more likely to have higher than median salaries when employed. That means higher taxes paid.<p>So from a purely economic point of view, an H-1B immigrant is a perfect profit center for government taxes.<p>Meanwhile a Canadian who gets their K-12 education here, gets a highly government subsidized post-secondary degree, then moves to the USA to work and pay taxes there is a huge loss, economically.
