Highly educated immigrants could be a boon to a society. Or it could be a drag on wages of white collar workers.

Nothing is ever all good or all bad.

> In other words education is important but the focusing on education especially higher but also on the elementary level as some sort of indication of how well a country is fairing is not really a useful metric.

It isn't even a good metric for determining a nation's education status. The number of quality universities is a far better indicator.

Canada has a handful of quality universities. The US has hundreds. So how much sense does it make to call canada an education superpower?
