As an American citizen, born and bred, I would literally, physically fight you on behalf of keeping Waterloo grads in America.

Many of the best coworkers I've had the pleasure of working with, not to mention the founders of the company I spent over a quarter of my career at (Pagerduty).

hear hear! I've worked with exceptional people from all sorts of backgrounds, but pound for pound, Waterloo CS grads are significantly better on average than grads from any other CS program. They start off way ahead, but also maintain that edge throughout their careers.

Disclosure: I'm a US citizen with multiple CS degree from MIT and my son is studying CS at Waterloo now.

Nice. I an researcher at MIT LL. In order to work at the lab you need to be a US citizen since a lot of it is federally funded. I tried to get my buddy, a Waterloo grad currently at Google, an interview but he is Canadian...
What about the "masters" diploma mills?
Of course visa mill down votes..
