Canada has an immigration policy like this because of our low population and low birthrate. The immigration policy is necessary to keep our economy working and keep businesses going.

I agree with your post except for the internationally recognized education. There's a reason medical degrees from the middle east and other parts of the world aren't recognized. Same thing with engineering. Different standards. I don't want a doctor trained in that part of the world, sorry.
