Although I'm not arguing the fact that Canadian grads are going south, I'm just pointing out the specific details which are important. Not only the fact that the rates are for 3 schools in Canada, but also their techniques to find people were to view their linkedin profiles. Why not go to Alumni Affairs at these schools and get contact lists? Not everyone has a LinkedIn profile, and by only contacting those with a profile, you are potentially introducing bias into the selection.

- chrisseaton 8y agoYou said why not 'get a contact list', not 'ask them to contact people for you'.
- giarc 8y agoThat's called "splitting hairs".
