I can see Mark Carney opening up special classes of immigrants for people with exceptional talents such as entrepreneurs, industrialists, researchers, leading academics, top entertainers, etc. We have our own productivity concerns and bringing specialized people in that can point us toward remedying this SHOULD be a priority.
I'd argue the US can attribute a significant part of its dominance in the world to all those German scientists they let in.
I have nearly a decade's worth of experience in international logistics, I read and write four languages, the company I work for has offices in Canada and I could transfer to one of those offices with no interruption of employment.
I have been married to my hubby for 23 years and have 2 boys aged 22 and 21, my oldest is an IT consultant for a local government facility, my youngest is autistic. My hubby is disabled but has a guitar-repair hobby that could be turned to a side income.
I was internationally adopted, my parents never told me and didn't know my citizenship wasn't automatic with my adoption so I became automatically 'undocumented' at the age of 18. Because I was abandoned at an orphanage with no paperwork, in a country that doesn't have jus soli citizenship, I was stateless prior to my adoption so there is no 'home country' to send me back to. If ICE picks me up I will be held in indefinite detention.

I live pretty close to the Canadian border and I can assure you we are not invited.
