Study warns that Canada is experiencing a silent brain drain to the United States

A recent report from TD Economics warns that Canada is losing its highest-skilled workers and entrepreneurs to the United States. This slow movement of top talent is described by researchers as a silent brain drain. Many highly educated individuals leave the country through US employer-sponsored work visas that do not show up in standard permanent emigration data. The study indicates that foreign-born Canadian citizens account for 60 percent of Canadian applicants for US labour certification. Experts blame uncompetitive tax structures, lower median salaries, and a lack of medium-sized businesses for pushing ambitious workers out of Canada.
