But, what kind of workforce will we have in a decade when Canadian kids aren't getting those spots in schools? Training up other countries is noble and all, but you need to educate your own future workforce, too.
you need not worry. This is not a hockey team, with one goalie, 6 D and 12 forwards. A classroom can be expanded, several classes can be offered, and so on. A solid 1-2 thousand PHD students graduate a year looking for a teaching position.
the issue has always been the same. Kids get here, like it here and stay. Others are even more brilliant, they marry real quick, get Canadian immigrant status and pay Canadian fees after that. And they bypass traditional immigration streams and checks and priority.
And in small doses, the act is cynical. Once married and having immigrant status, good bye Canadian husband or wife, back to the home land to marry and, Canada has family unification laws, suddenly many people are here.
lest you think me to be some redneck. I was not born here.
But less the cynical marriage.. even the noble marriage where they do stay with their mate.. there is immigration, refugee status and so on.
so of the 300,000 students (Ontario), If so much as 5-10% stay, now we have a flooding of the system. Can you imagine a near instantaneous dropping in of 30,000 university or college educated kids dropped in on us.. each and every year.
so we have an issue
1) we love their money
2) moral grounds, offer education to much of the world
3) flooding...
can you imagine allowing in 30,000 tradesmen a year into Ontario (plumbers, electricians, etc.)? it would cause havoc.
Quebec and Ontario tear each other to shreds over construction workers crossing over.. and that impact a few thousand. Now imagine 30,000 people waving a post secondary degree!!!! a year, every year!
