Canada recruits dozens of foreign scientists, researchers, poaching many from U.S.

Canadian universities, including the University of British Columbia, McGill, and the University of Toronto, have recruited dozens of foreign scientists and researchers. This initiative marks the first intake of a government-backed program designed to attract world-leading academics to the country.

A significant portion of these new hires are being drawn from prestigious institutions within the United States. The program aims to bolster Canada's research capacity by successfully poaching high-profile talent from its southern neighbor.
