Is this why I keep reading "THEY TUKK ER JERBS!!!!!!" as a knock-down argument against H1-B and other legal visas here on HN?
- tonynator 2y agoWe don't want to become Canada.
- zozbot234 2y agoAre IT-sector workers even that low-paid in Canada anyway?
- tonynator 2y agoNo idea, but housing and jobs in many sectors are getting extremely scarce in Canada's cities due to their insane immigration policies aiming to bring in """skilled workers"""
- herewulf 2y agoThe government is also bringing in tons of unskilled workers and "students" who are curiously not enrolled anywhere and it absolutely shows.
- rangestransform 2y agoCompared to the US, yeah they’re quite low compared to CoL

- gregors 2y agoAs an immigrant who works in tech, I think the H1-B issue in particular is a bit more nuanced. I think the feeling is that H1-B's are used inappropriately as a tool to leverage salaries lower. I don't actually know the stats on that. That being said, you do want immigrants working right? That's kinda the entire point.
