Canada has launched a $1.2 billion initiative to attract leading researchers, aiming to counter U.S. restrictions on skilled workers. The investment will support over 1,000 individuals in critical fields. This move comes as the U.S. imposes a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, affecting industries like healthcare. Canada is also addressing its doctor shortage by offering expedited residency for overseas doctors. Scholars are already moving from the U.S. to Canadian universities, enhancing the country’s research capabilities.
