A small town's worth of Indians came to Canada on a study permit & never went to class. Where are they & what are they doing?

Some used the study permit as a backdoor route to work & settle in Canada. They claimed asylum if need be.
Some likely crossed illegally into the US.
Indians make up the single largest group of "students" illegally here. But they are far from the only ones. Full list:
Almost 50,000 international "students" are unaccounted for. Colleges & universities failed to report on a further 23,514.
Generously assuming that only half the not reported students are indeed unaccounted for, as a group "unaccounted international students" would be around the 55th biggest city in Canada. We have a new Grande Prairie of illegal foreign "students."
If we include them all, then Canada has another Sarnoa full of illegal international "students." Our new 45th largest city.
What's really wild is that this is just around 10% of the total number of internationals on a student visa.
Move out of the way Kitchener, International "students" are Canada's 10th largest city.

What's the solution here? I can but the argument that some international students are beneficial to Canada. The elite ones.
Where's the cut off? How many is too many? What's the impact on colleges & unis who depend on foreign tuition. What's the bar here? Comment 👇
