So how to reverse this brain drain and entice the best and brightest foreigners to stay in this country. First the following are my suggestions:
1. Whoever does his or her doctorate or any other professional degree (like law, medicine, accounting certificates, engineering) should be granted or offered permanent residency within a month of their graduation since they have already paid their dues to this country and fully integrated (hopefully) to the lifestyles and values to which we all hold dear.
2. If someone has graduated with a masters degree in engineering, hard sciences (like math, physics, biology, chemistry and the like) or any other field which we deem to see that there is a shortfall should be granted or offered a permanent residency within six months of their graduation. Since these most sought after fields are mostly short on candidates for hire, this can give an excellent opportunity for the employers to tap into this huge stream of people.
3. If someone has graduated with a bachelor’s degree in any hard sciences and engineering should be offered permanent residency within two years of their graduation, provided they can secure some kind of employment in their fields. If within those two years they proceed to do their masters, then we can revert to the second criteria and then we can grant them the chance to stay here earlier.
4. If any of the above foreigners have an idea to start a business, he or she should be encouraged and partnered with potential investors so that they will have a chance to have their ideas grow up.
