The immigrants most valuable to the Canadian economy are now the most likely to leave
Quote:
Individuals with high incomes and education levels are among the most likely to leave Canada after immigrating here. Specifically, immigrants who have a doctorate (PhD) upon arrival have a one in three chance of leaving within 20 years, while those with a master’s degree have a 29 percent chance of emigration. Altogether, the most highly educated immigrants are about twice as likely to leave Canada as those with a high school education or less. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree are more likely to stay than those with advanced degrees, but there’s still a one in five chance they’ll leave within two decades.

While calling me "valuable to the economy" (not to mention "high income") is a huge stretch, my family seems to be illustrative of this trend. My parents came to this country with PhDs and I've left it with one. Buh bye.
