The H1-B visa application fee increasing from $1000 to $100,000 a year could be a win for Canada

- Start ups could move to afford talent
- Companies could expand satellite offices to keep talent
- More medical professionals to meet backlogs

Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas
