    The Institute for Canadian Citizenship’s Leaky Bucket 2025 report shows that onward migration is highest among immigrants with doctoral degrees, strong earnings potential, and experience in management, ICT, engineering, and science based occupations. Within five years of entering Canada, highly educated immigrants are more than twice as likely to leave as lower skilled immigrants.

          That’s over now. Who wants to get a pricy Canadian degree just to go get rounded-up in America and maybe killed in the gulags?
