I feel like this article is more about the dire job market of academia rather than immigration. Most PhDs do not have great job prospects even for those born in Canada and the reality is we train far too many due to the perverse incentives of graduation education (cheap labour for professors).
There are shockingly few stable jobs available in academia. People churn through years worth of short-term, underpaid contracts in the hope they can eventually land something better. But the reality is most don't.
