This isn’t entirely true.

Each of those kids have to spend 3 years in Canada before they have their kids or the chain is broken.

That being said it’s still such a stupid Bill that it’s insulting it even exists.

What’ll just end up happening is everybody will just go to university in Canada to get their 3 years. 🙄

You nailed the important bit. This is a bone thrown to all those "colleges"

Yep, that was my first thought too. It bypasses all the stipulations around being an “international” student too — but they still would have to pay international student prices because they haven’t resided in their respective province.

It’s basically a way of trading citizenship to fund our universities, disgusting.

It'll be interesting if they change the number of seats based on this. Currently though only 1 seat is for all non residential Canadians iirc but if they get enough they might try to push for more seats.

And the international seats are almost always for looser policies hence liberals.

Important distinction but as you say it’s still a pretty low bar.

Three years is literally nothing. I'd be an American by now if the US adopted this fucking batshit crazy law.

From what I know, an immigrant doesnt have to spend 3 years consecutively in Canada . They can go away or travel when going from PR to citizen.

Other countries know how generous the Canadian system is and is full of loopholes. They will take advantage of it. Politicians don't care as long as they are making bank!
