International students may prefer completing a bachelor’s degree in their home country and pursuing a two-year postgraduate degree in Canada to secure more Express Entry points. This trend discourages international students from opting for Canada’s four-year bachelor’s programs, which are more expensive and offer fewer points. To address this, allocating additional Express Entry points to international students completing a four-year bachelor’s degree in Canada could make these programs more attractive, balancing the cost and points advantage of two-year postgraduate degrees.
