Why CANADIAN TALENT Moves Away from Canada
Many artistic Canadians gain fame, fortune, inspiration, and support from foreign sources. If they’ve paid for their own specialized training abroad, and want to be successful after graduating, they’re given little incentive to return to Canada. Canada doesn’t seem to provide sufficient enticement (governmental or otherwise) to those who wish to return home. In fact, if you’ve been out of the country for a while, and don’t have adequate fresh "Canadian experience," or networking connections, it’s unlikely you’ll be eligible for grant money or endorsement. For those who graduate in the US, there’s a grace period to stay on there if you find suitable employment/sponsorship. Canada is a wonderful place to live. However, if you’re an artist trying to launch a career, it’s usually easier to develop employment/recognition prospects elsewhere.
