It's about increasing options in life because you never know what the future holds. It's a fact that a Canadian passport gives you more options in life, even if you want to live in India. I'd rather my kids go to IITs if they can't qualify for UWaterloo or Toronto. McGill might be higher in the rankings but look at the actualy post-graduation salary data. Only Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, UWaterloo, and UofT is better. Nothing else beats the network of IITs. As far as giving kids freedom, to an extent sure but being too laissez-faire is a white-anglo thing.
What? Immigration only makes sense for economic reasons. Nothing else. How many Norwegians, Swiss, or Danes do you see rushing to come to Canada?
You must be a citizen of a country with a decent passport to say that.
Canada has more free trade aggreements than India and unlike India's FTAs, Canada's FTAs all include special work permits. CETA is one example. Even without the FTAs, if there's no difference then how come, on this very forum, there's a huge difference in accceptance/rejection rates based on citizenship for study permits? Or family reunification? When was the last time you heard of a EU wife of a Canadian citizen being rejected for spousal sponsorship?
DASA has been a thing since early 2000s:

IIT Bombay international students page:

IIM Ahmedabad international students page (don't even have to give CAT like Indian students, only GMAT like every other business school - if you're OCI):
https://www.iima.ac.in/web/pgp-fabm/apply/overseas-candidates
For DASA, you need to give JEE but the cut-offs are less than SC/ST quota. You basically need to be alive and you'll qualify. Not sure if you're Indian but if are you'll understand what I just said.
