Summary: Canada’s new startup visa program offers immediate permanent residence to foreign entrepreneurs who secure significant funding from Canadian investors, aiming to boost job creation and innovation. While Jacob Kirkegaard supports a similar U.S. program for economic benefits, others like James Spencer and Andrew Rudnick argue the U.S. needs better startup infrastructure, not just funding.
This debate coincides with the U.S. H-1B visa discussions, highlighting the demand for skilled workers. Critics, like Ron Hira, call for tighter H-1B regulations to prevent exploitation, advocating for long-term immigration solutions over temporary visas.
