Key elements of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
deal with temporary labor mobility. Ideally, NAFTA status
provisions should make the temporary movement of professionals
easier across the border of all NAFTA countries. However, in the
case of emerging sectors such as high technology and the creative
industries, it is arguably not the case. Within the context of
recent literature on cross-border trade, city regions, economic
clusters, international labor mobility, and post-September 11
security measures, this book probes the dynamics of transitory
immigration of 'knowledge-workers' between the North American west
coast city regions of Vancouver, Seattle, and the greater San
Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley area, namely, Cascadia. With
particular attention given to the experiences and strategies of the
high tech firms that must move highly skilled workers across the
Canada-US border, this book draws from 80 in-depth interviews with
Canadian and US immigration officials, immigration attorneys and
executives and professional staff of new technology firms and
Fortune 500 companies. It develops and presents new models towards
the development of an innovation cross border region, and
recommends new policy approaches. Ultimately, it explores whether
or not the Canada-US border is an impediment to the development of
cross-border high-tech clusters. This comprehensive book will serve
as a critical resource for academics in geography; political
science; international relations; global studies; economics;
international business and law. It will also strongly appeal to
practitioners such as professional immigration lawyers, corporate
firms, and governmental policy makers alike.
