There was a policy decision around 30 years ago to deregulate tuition and cut funding to universities. Part of the arrangement was allowing massive differential fees for foreign students. So they have been propping up most universities, not just the diploma mills.
I really don’t have an issue with student visas for actual students pursuing actual degrees from reputable universities. They are as close to printing free money as a country can get and it’s really only a benefit for us as a nation.
Yes and no. It is a tool that must be wielded like a scalpel and not a hammer.
If done perfectly right it can be a big benefit. But it is extremely easy to do it wrong. And the problem is even if you set it up right at the beginning it tends to take a life of its own on and go off the rails in a relatively short. Of time.
But in principle I agree with you that there are benefits. Not only does it reduce costs to our universities by providing income but more importantly it can make a lot of foreign nationals very comfortable with the idea of doing business in Canada and allow for connections chips that will further our ability to do business in those countries in the future
But it’s just so easy for it to go wrong and when it goes wrong we run into real problems
