But the provinces Canada most needs to develop right now are probably far less desirable to most UT & Waterloo grads than a move to the US.
U-Waterloo is its own special thing. It's hardly reflective of the rest of Canada. More universities need to take the U-Waterloo approach of work experience interspersed with academic study.
They do? A large number of Canadian universities offer co-op, either optional or integrated into their programs.
