Changed destination, Canada?


IBNLive has reported a decrease of 25% in American F1 student visa for Indian students over the previous year. Strategically, Canada is at a vantage point than any other country to have these bevy of brilliant minds added to its team of challengers and innovators. Let Canada tackle economic slow-down utilizing apt human resources (these students undoubtedly make great ones) in a novel manner. If the right actions are thought and implemented in concerted manner by different government departments, universities, business houses etc. time will give all a chance to accolade such thoughts (for attracting these students), in not too far a moment. They primarily look for the right opportunities in their chosen field to pursue higher studies and research oriented work. Some of them may also need to work for certain period of time to pay/recover the cost. How Canada can utilize them after giving some support is what has to be very quickly explored, discussed and implemented.

Critics will say if American dream is getting over for them why to help them with a Canadian dream. Answer to them is to help Canada achieve what America has over the last 50 years by properly utilizing this human resource-item developed by another country (India) without involving Canadian tax-payers money! As USA has observed, these students pay reasonable taxes once they start earning and never become a burden on the society.

However, ‘screen & bring’ should be the only password to prevent over-crowding and off-quality inflow.
