The increased cost of H-1B visas could deter global talent from the U.S., creating a chance for Canada to attract researchers, innovators & skilled workers, @cercmigration.bsky.social's @triandafyllidou.bsky.social & @richashivakoti.bsky.social write in @ca.theconversation.com: tinyurl.com/yxhrjrnt
The H-1B visa fee hike in the United States opens a policy window for Canada
Policymakers inside and outside of government can provide ideas on creating targeted policies and pathways to recruit talented workers to Canada in the wake of the U.S. H-1B visa fee hike.

A limited reopening of Canada’s Parent and Grandparents Program brings hope for some, but leaves many more waiting. CERC Migration's @aatique.bsky.social co-authors for @ca.theconversation.com on why #PermanentReunification matters for migrant families. 🔗 theconversation.com/heres-why-ca...
Here’s why Canada’s parents and grandparents reunification program is problematic
International conventions dictate that families have a right to be together. But Canada’s current parent and grandparent reunification program makes that difficult.
