There's a surprisingly large number of Iranians doing great work in Canadian universities. I'm not particularly well-versed in why, but it seems that smart people have both means and motive to emigrate.
Iran is a pretty highly-developed country with a population of 83 million people, so I don't think that's too surprising.
There's a perception gap due to the western world's treatment of Iran. Maybe we shouldn't have overthrown their government and installed a dictator in the 1950s.
Can confirm this, and this spans all fields of study. They are doing great work. Canadian universities are choke full of immigrants of all kinds though (I'm one).
