Canada saw an intake of over 30,000 foreign tech workers within the last year, according to a new report from the Technology Councils of North America and Canada's Tech Network.

30 of them work for my company. They are all very senior, making good money, and paying Canadian taxes. Paying a lot of taxes that pay for social programs that all Candians enjoy.

I hope they can use part of those tax revenues to fix our healthcare.

Canada is no longer a shining first world example of success (if it ever was). We used to boast about how great our healthcare system was, but it's had serious problems for years and those problems just keep getting worse. If I were a tech immigrant looking to move to a rich country I don't think I would choose Canada at the moment.

Which country would you immigrate to, other than the Nordic countries and Japan?
