    It is the fault of their home countries that their schools don’t meet that standard.

    We cannot and should never compromise high standards of education.

    These two things are generally unrelated. Higher education institutions around the world don’t have many incentives to get these accreditation stamps in the first place, and it’s mostly bureaucracy, nothing to do with the actual standards of these institutions. My engineering degree was much, MUCH harder to get than it it would have been in Canada. The bar to graduate at my uni is way higher than the average university here - but in the end it’s a pile of paperwork that no one cares to make it easier.

    A friend of mine is finishing his 3 year journey towards his P Eng and it’s insane to think that the quality of his education has anything to do with this, it’s one of the best engineering schools of the continent.
