There's a surprisingly large number of Iranians doing great work in Canadian universities. I'm not particularly well-versed in why, but it seems that smart people have both means and motive to emigrate.

Actually Canada is a weird one when it comes to immigration. Work based skilled immigration to Canada is certainly easier than the US. But if you want to marry a Canadian and want to move to Canada as an American citizen, you have to wait 2 years for the visa to get approved, and there is no fiance visa or anything to speed up the process.
