In fact, new U.S. immigrants are a bit more likely to have advanced degrees.
- Mikeb85 7y agoMore likely to have advanced degrees but less educated overall. The US takes in more outliers due to high-paying jobs in SV and on Wall Street, Canada takes in richer immigrants on average. Your own charts reflect that. Edit - look at Figure 3. 40% of immigrants to Canada have a bachelors or advanced degree. Versus only 29% of US immigrants. And that doesn't even take into account the fact that many immigrants to Canada come here to go to university (paying more than double what local students pay).
