I see. That makes a lot of sense. India has a small number of IIMs (national business universities), so they are very hard to get into. And unlike most other government unis, they are also very expensive (can't have the peons getting uppity). So many Indian parents with more money than sense send their children to degree mills in other countries that no one in the host country has even heard of.

Yep. That's the situation here I think.

This is the first anti-immigrant policy of any kind Canada's put in place for a long time, and people are rightfully worried because of that. The thing is, we just have an absolutely insane housing shortage, and so the government has to be seen shoring up immigration somehow, or it will be vulnerable in the upcoming election.
