Isn't that good for the Canadian economy too?
I'm sure it's not great for Canadians looking for a job, but access to high-quality talent at below-market rates seems like it would be win/win.
- Scoundreller 7y agoSure, but the benefits of that aren’t well distributed. Those that are well-established in their wealth/careers get to double dip at no cost.
- ethbro 7y agoGranted. But if a country did that, taxed top brackets more heavily, and then specifically allocated those revenues to upskilling, it wouldn't be a bad thing. The post-globalism issue is that no one redistributed those profits.
- thawaway1837 7y agoWho has more immigrarion? The US or Canada? Who has a better economy? Who pays higher wages? More specifically, when comparing immigrants (and more relevant to this discussion, immigrants coming for higher ed) who has a greater income and who is a greater contributor? All those numbers are significantly in favor of the immigrants in the country.
