But... That's fine? We would expect them to? They came here for education. That's not skilled immigrants leaving, it's customers going home with what they paid for

I really don't have an issue with student visas for actual students pursuing actual degrees from reputable universities. They are as close to printing free money as a country can get and it's really only a benefit for us as a nation.

Well I'm mad at AI, that hardly makes me mad at the article. Ok though. Bye

Excellent. I kind of thought that might be the case but that's not really regulating big tech... It's regulating commercial finance, which presumably they had the remit and powers to do already

A lot of our immigration was from student visas. And a lot of student visas were being abused, both to bring in cheap labour and to prop up diploma mills.

The government stepped in to protect domestic labour and the reputation of Canadian higher education institutions (education being one of our largest export markets)

Absolutely necessary but is the bank of England the right entity to be regulating these?
