More specifically, the $100,000 fee applies to H-1B applications filed on or after Sept. 21 by workers outside the U.S. and who do not currently hold such a visa, USCIS said in October.<\/p>\n<p>While the fee could<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/h-1b-visa-new-fee-immigration-impact-american-workers\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> foster boosted domestic hiring<\/a><\/span> in some industries, other industries could take a hit. The U.S. health care system, for example, which depends on international professionals such as doctors, lab technicians and nurses to fill positions, could <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-h1-b-visa-fees-rural-health-care-hospitals\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">become collateral damage<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canada, meanwhile, faces its own challenges. The country is experiencing a significant shortage of doctors in primary care, leaving millions without a family physician and contributing to longer emergency room waits and poorer health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Canadian officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/news\/2025\/12\/targeted-immigration-measures-to-boost-canadas-supply-of-doctors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced a path<\/a> to expedited permanent residency for overseas doctors with at least one year of Canadian work experience, aiming to address the critical workforce gap. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This dedicated Express Entry category, along with the reserved federal admission spaces for provinces and territories, will help bring in and keep practice-ready doctors, so people across Canada can get the care they need,&#8221; Lena Metlege Diab, Canada&#8217;s minister of refugees and citizenship, said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Some scholars are already making their way from the U.S. to Canadian universities. The University of Toronto announced in November that it recruited three top researchers from U.S. institutions \u2014 whose work ranges from the search for new planets to economics \u2014 and called it a &#8220;big win for Canada.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By attracting the top minds from around the world to work alongside exceptional Canadian researchers, the Government of Canada is building the kind of scientific and academic powerhouse that drives the strongest economy in the G7,&#8221; Joly said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
