> No one is opposed to the legal immigration of skilled workers.

Is this why I keep reading "THEY TUKK ER JERBS!!!!!!" as a knock-down argument against H1-B and other legal visas here on HN?

We don't want to become Canada.

Are IT-sector workers even that low-paid in Canada anyway?

No idea, but housing and jobs in many sectors are getting extremely scarce in Canada's cities due to their insane immigration policies aiming to bring in """skilled workers"""

The government is also bringing in tons of unskilled workers and "students" who are curiously not enrolled anywhere and it absolutely shows.

As an immigrant who works in tech, I think the H1-B issue in particular is a bit more nuanced. I think the feeling is that H1-B's are used inappropriately as a tool to leverage salaries lower. I don't actually know the stats on that.

That being said, you do want immigrants working right? That's kinda the entire point.
