The Department of Homeland Security will add 22 fields of study including data science, climate science and cloud computing to a program that allows foreign graduates of U.S. universities to remain in the country for three years, rather than the one year that most get. (The Logic)

Talking point: The measure is among several immigration changes the Biden White House said are designed to help the tech sector with talent needs. It means aspiring data or climate scientists and other innovation-economy professionals will have the same three-year runway whether they go to a U.S. or Canadian school, eroding one of this country’s key selling points for international students. Post-graduate work-permit holders are increasing in the Canadian workforce, with a Statistics Canada study recently revealing that the number of them—or I suppose “us,” since this reporter used to be one—grew from 10,300 in 2008 to 135,100 in 2018. Former international students also make up a growing share of new permanent residents. The Biden administration is also making administrative and policy changes to the H-1B visa, lifting Trump-era barriers that caused some skilled workers to move north or pick Canada over the U.S. in the first place.
