I think countries that want more immigrants could learn something from Canada.
In one of the recent reforms, it started to favor those who can fit into the country better -- those who have spent several years studying or working here can get immigration visa much easier and faster, without needing any sponsors.
This ensures a few things:
1, it reduces the chance of some highly educated immigrants failed to adapt to local job market and ended up doing manual labors, or consuming social assistance.
2, it gives the market more power to influence who should get in the country.
3, companies cannot hold foreign workers hostage, because after a couple years, the workers can fast-track through immigration visa without them.
