Can those employees progress in their career without speaking the native language ?
Will the kids get an education in English ?
Can the immigrant take part in social activities ?
Can they talk to their doctors or to the grocery store in English without misunderstanding.
How is the attitude towards English ? Will a nationalist government change those English friendliness ?
There are things like these a skilled economic immigrant should consider before immigrating to a non English speaking country.
Take the example of Québec, although it's a province in the English speaking Canada, immigrants who speak only English are not welcomed and frowned upon. They find it hard to get by. They end up moving to other provinces. If the immigrant is not white, the difficulties are 2x in Québec. To be fair, Québec's hate for English is well founded if you examine their colonial history and hence the strict language laws.
