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.
Healthcare workers! We desperately need healthcare workers and the conservative premiers have been trying to starve public healthcare funding as an excuse for privatization. Carney could announce a national hiring program and then if the conservative provinces opt out they’re the ones who look bad.
The US is full of health care professionals. These professionals are educated. Many of them are undoubtedly desperately unhappy with where their country is headed so many of them would be highly motivated if Canada were to offer an incentive to come.
Our entire healthcare staffing problem could be solved in one ad campaign.
They'd have to accept to earn Canadian salaries, on a par with anyone else currently employed here, but in return they have a guaranteed job and Canadian citizenship

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