Just look at the licensing process, it takes a long time to study and pass the exams in the first attempt and there is a limit on total number of attempts. Also, they need to do some kind of job to support themselves till they get the licence.
If Canada shuts down the pathway to an easy PR, Canadian Student Visa pathway will possibly double in the coming years given the desperation of people around the world to move to a "developed" country. Interesting days are ahead...!!!
This is one thing that bothers me the most.
Canada's economy looks fragile and scary I think in terms of diversification, I think even india is doing better job,even though they say it is one of the most developed nations.
First no global brands (black berry,bombardier....are ded)
I mainly didn't prefer Australia because it only had mining canada is not much different.
Why does canada sell apart from agricultural product, auto parts ,natural resources.
Canada don't have even refineries ,they mine every thing just send to US to get finished products.
Fully dependent on US as a customer
Maybe scared of US(as we know US govt is very good with its competitors)may be lazy,but living here for 2 month I understood if US get a cold canada feels like pneumonia.

There is one more global brand .. Shopify .. although the stock price has tumbled a lot and they are doing very badly that they rescinded offers on even internships. But it does have global presence and has customers all over the world. Australia is dependent on China in the same way Canada is dependent on US.
Canada's economy and thinking is a little too closed and rigid for a developed country. It kind of helps and inhibits it at the same time. Their policies have helped them to have their home grown brands to exist - for example banks like TD, BMO, CIBC and Rogers etc. If the policies were open Chase or other US banks would have killed the market. Tim Hortons is able to sustain even with Starbucks. But since they get things easier here the companies have no will power or ability to dominate in markets outside of Canada.
Australia is secluded from rest of the world but Canada has an advantage of having access to US markets. But challenge is the companies don't have the open mindset and work culture needed to make a name in US. Unfortunately, from what I have seen they are not even trying to diversify economy to be in a better shape 10-15 years down the line. The work needs to start today to see results in future.

Canada cannot even claim Slack as a success story. Though founded in BC, Slack had to move to Bay Area. Last year, it went to become one of the largest acquisition ($27.7 billion) in the world. Canada could have more Slacks and Shopifys if they can ditch its low skilled PGDM programs that Canada wants the world to believe they are high skilled programs. I have never seen so many poor or low rated schools in an country making so many low skilled work force. Canada needs more Universities not colleges. Canada can call them in a fancy way but PGDM colleges are just another Community colleges that are found in US. Don't forget, the role of STEM immigrants in building today's US tech world is huge. Canada can still do it.
I didnt know they have mentioned that it wont fall below 500
But it doesnt make sense
Even if they keep sending only 1500 ITAs per draw, it will get below 500 in 3-4months

More than that I think their recruiting practices are primitive. In this global day and age they frustrate many good candidates with their fascination of "Canadian Experience". Does coding change if someone does coding somewhere else in the world vs Canada. What is the use of bringing all the skilled people in the country and then not hiring the talent.

Its okay to give respect to a talent that spent some time in Canada but like you said its pathetic to ditch the New Immigrants due to lack of Canadian experience.

I would say it depends on the role also. If one is hiring an individual contributor for a very skills based job like coding where you will sit and code it really doesn't matter. I can still understand if you are trying to hire a manager and you are worried about work styles. But I think companies here are missing out on a lot of good talent because of that.
They frustrate and demean people and people remember that. So those folks then take that humiliation and then decide that as soon as they will get passports they will move down south and work there to get better money and better opportunity. So after 3-4 years Canada needs that talent again.
