Sure.
If that helps you better sleep at night.
Your companies will replace you in a heartbeat. Y'all need to stop acting like you lead multi-billion dollar projects. Just a cog in a corporate machine. Companies won't lose their sleep if CEC candidate has to leave. Sure, it will be a little inconvenient for them to hire and train someone but they will lose couple of month top; even that is questionable.
If there are jobs available, then outlanders will get a job much faster. In the end of the day, most outlanders fight for the same job that CEC are doing right now.
Economy is in crap hole already. I am way too tired to explain it but no, CEC are not Avengers; you won't save Canada from the major recession.
Again, it's too long to explain and I am a very tired for that but no, CEC won't happen. No program specified, yes. CEC only, highly doubt.
