In Canada we heavily base immigration on education. So we're siphoning off the best educated of other countries. I mean this is just fucking those countries.

I get what you two are saying, but this kind of removes agency from the people doing the moving.

Also: Should people not be allowed to move to another country if they’re “too useful” or “skilled”?

There's no agency in the market. That's the entire point of markets - being independent of a single human's whims and being an equalizing force, the "invisible hand".

And the entire point of communism is getting that agency, having production for the sake of humans rather than humans for the sake of production.
