That's exactly it: indentured servants. I wonder if Canada's immigration policy that Microsoft is holding up is geared toward indentured servanthood, or citizenship?

Canada has a point based system which ties the visa to the employee not the employer. Also there are straightforward paths to citizenship.

Thanks. And I see from the downvote on my comment above that it is offensive to suggest that Canada might have a policy that favors the employee more than the employer.

Mussolini would be proud of these pro-employer watchdogs...
