Many countries are engaged in a global race to attract skilled and talented workers from around the world. But Canada is at risk of losing ground due to recently announced reductions in immigration and restrictive policies.

Over one-third depart within the first five years, often due to unmet expectations and difficulties in navigating the settlement process.
