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.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.At the same time, they are far more likely to have higher than median salaries when employed. That means higher taxes paid.So from a purely economic point of view, an H-1B immigrant is a perfect profit center for government taxes.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.
