Human capital flight to the United States is the immigration of skilled workers to the United States

From Canada
A 2018 study from Brock University found that human capital flight to the United States from Canada exceeded levels at which negative impacts begin to be incurred by the sending country.

From India
More than 80 percent of skilled Indians emigrating to a developed country do so to the United States. In 2000, approximately 47 percent of skilled workers admitted under the U.S.' H1B visa were Indian. The loss, specifically, of medical professionals to the United States has been hypothesized to have a negative impact on the Indian healthcare sector.

From Mexico
A 2006 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that human capital flight from Mexico to the United States primarily benefitted the U.S. at the expense of Mexico. According to Alejandro Díaz Bautista of the National Council of Science and Technology "there is no doubt that this exodus of brains constitutes a phenomenal economic loss for Mexico". Díaz has estimated the loss to Mexico incurred by emigration of skilled workers to the United States is equal to .5-percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Other research has shown that highly skilled Mexican immigrants to the United States have a lower likelihood of sending remittances back to Mexico than their less-educated counterparts.

In 1990, 30 percent of Mexico's STEM university graduates were living outside Mexico. In 2014, Mexico's National Population Council estimated that, for every 19 Mexicans with a bachelor's degree living in Mexico, one lived in the United States. According to a 2015 report, 27 percent of all Mexicans with doctorate degrees were then living in the United States.
