Not to mention immigration.
The academic departments increasingly play important roles in immigration. They probably benefit from closer integration with government’s immigration organizations.

- screye 6y agoto be fair, it is fairly easy to immigrate to Australia. Any higher graduate course and a decent score on their test usually suffices and they give you a PR from the outset. Same for Canada. If anything, the immigration equation is far more relevant to the US than it is to other countries. A top PhD used to be able to fetch you an eb1 Green Card which is a lot faster than the eb2. However, 'eb' GCs have to be filed by your employer, which means leaving Academia or having a decent enough post-graduation industry outlook. With eb-1 requirements only getting more stringent, this perk is also becoming less relevant.
