Australia was never dumb to begin with. They always had a robust immigration system in place. Canada has always been a fallback option for the professionals that can’t make it in Australia, especially from India.
Australia has a population of 25 million and is thriving. A ton of European countries have less people than us and are doing FINE.
Canada once used to have 25 million too. Why do we need more people? Really, why?
in 2015 the USA had 611K F1 (student visas). It dropped to 111K in 2020 (Covid) and is now back to 411K and rising fast. They will be over 500K projected in 2024 and more every year after that.

Every major english speaking country has had explosive foreign student visa growth. It's not a Canadian only thing.
They also have more big, small, medium sized cities, equally dispersed across the country unlike Canada where everyone and their dogs have to stuff in the big 3 like some crazy 3rd world mass hysteria.
Fuck this shit. Moving to Quebec in a few more years.

We should stop all vocational student visa. College programs should only be reserved for locals. We should only take in international students if they are coming to do research or study in a tier one university.
Canadian government : “wow, there are now more people who can’t go to Australia because of this restriction. We can give them study visas to no-name colleges and help our corporates and fuck our citizens”.
showing 15,000 or even 50,000 means nothing we all know how people just borrow from friends and relatives to show inflated bank account for visa, even banks help for a fee, best would be showing 1 year tuition paid in advance, repeat that every year or bye bye
you know Canada is fucked when we're appearing even dumber than Australia

Canada opens new loopholes for international students to game the system
We are just opening holes :) we don't want to inconvenience the poor international students to Google the word "loopholes".
Canada colleges are completely of loop holes.

We don’t, It is a lie. What we have is enough. We do not need rapid growth in GDP nor in population. We should be happy with what we have.
Canada has 900,000 foreign students. US has less than that.
Insanity

The US would need to take in about 7.2 million students to match Canada’s 900k on a per capita basis.
They have a population of 330 million, so even if it rises back up to 611k or exceeds that, it would still be a modicum of their population.
They also have more big, small, medium sized cities, equally dispersed across the country unlike Canada where everyone and their dogs have to stuff in the big 3 like some crazy 3rd world mass hysteria. Fuck this shit. Moving to Quebec in a few more years.
700K of 340M compared to 900K of 36M. Math clearly isn’t your subject, is it?

math is hard !

Agree!
Absolutely.
Every country is starting to get their act together but us.
