How Canada can attract international talent and improve knowledge exchange

Canada faces multiple challenges to sustain a well-rounded talent pool due partially to a strong financial disinvestment in science over the last decade and to an aging population. While Canada trains a large number of international STEM students, there is still a general reluctance of domestic

Canadian university students to study abroad and experience international settings, with sobering implications for Canada’s international reputation and national economy. For example, about 53 percent of biotechnology companies in Canada have reported skill shortages among R&D workers, of which interpersonal skills are ranked at the top, followed by business development and management/leadership skills.

But these are some points which make it perfect than any other country for  study and settling abroad.

Flexibility in recruitment at different career stages

Family matters

Virtual mobility to increase minorities’ international mobility

Inter-sectorial mobility to support interdisciplinary expertise

Bureaucracy related to immigration procedures

Institutional support for international and inter-sectorial mobility and knowledge exchange
