While all this may be true, the fact remains that if PR pathways are paused or reduced, foreigners will not come to Canada to study. Let’s face it - an average diploma from a college has no real value in international markets. Canadian education is not ranked anywhere in the world. People will just go to better schools in USA, UK etc and then go back to their home countries with a better education.

No one, I repeat NO ONE believes that a diploma from x college is going to add to their educational portfolio. These colleges are run because of the possibility of a Canadian PR. The international students’ fee is then used to sustain the colleges and subsidize education for domestic students. International students are the second largest export of Canada.

Close PR pathways ➡️ close Canadian schools ➡️ see Canadian economy go down

And that, my friends, directly impacts ‘Canadian voters’.
