New immigrants are leaving Canada “at near-record rates, with highly educated and highly skilled immigrants leaving Canada at twice the rate of those with less education and lower skills,” a new report by the Institute of Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada found.
They aren't allowed to come here, so where are they going?

Um, how much of this is just students leaving the university after getting their degree?
reply
Valid question but I think if this included people on student visas it would have been noted. I will try to dig a little deeper to find out.

Even if it is, the "record levels" part still makes it noteworthy

I don't know for sure but I think many go back to their native countries. Especially those that have difficulty getting their credentials/education recognized in Canada. We try to make it as difficult as possible for the people that have the skills for the jobs we need filled to actually be qualified for them. However, if you have no discernable skills or education the government is happy to have you on their dime.
