And best of all, they'll contribute back into our economy. Win-win.

I know this is a divergent topic not really appropriate for the "YYCCC" thread, but foreign-trained engineers, doctors, nurses, teachers, etc. have to substantiate their credentials. I have little sympathy for the "taxi driver who used to be a bank executive or an engineer", because by our standards their qualifications aren't up to snuff. It's far too easy in India and China in particular to get a diploma from some degree mill.
