Most of the CEC candidates are also immigrants albeit temporary. Canada will be just fine if they let them remain.
I believe they are counted during census and contribute to the 37M population. If they are OK with their underpopulation situation, trust me there will be no need for EE. Just imagine what happened to their economy without the normal influx of outlanders. They depend more on outlanders. They can not continue to favor inland guys are the detriment of outlanders because it will become an enclosed entity and there will be no change either in their population or economy as no immigrant is coming from the outside
Unfortuantely I don't think IRCC sees it that way. They think that now outsiders will have to come through the route of canadian education first. So going forward they continue to get their influx of people from outside. but those who want to come to Canada are now forced to opt for Canadian education first. This way, they get the same number of people immigrating, but getting a boost to Canada's education industry, as that has now become the gateway to express entry due to higher points requirments. Basically the effect is rerouting outsider traffic to Canada through the Canadian educational institutions.
I see the weight in both thoughts discussed above. In my opinion, they need to have a balanced approach between CEC and FSW. Point change can demotivate FSWs so much that it might lead to people not seeing Canada as a potential destination anymore which is the backbone for Canadian economy
We might see more CEC draws but point change is not happening.

If that's the case then the government is more likely to do CEC-only draws bi-weekly. But, at the end of the day, if Canada wants to hit their 2021 immigration target, they will need to continue with their FSW draws. This is especially true when you consider the recent US elections. Many immigrants, including Canadian citizens, will target the US now.
Many FSW candidates are closer to 30's and mostly married and IRCC has a stellar record of giving out study permits to older candidates who has closer to 10 years of experience. The study route makes total sense to me.
Actually just those with Canadian education provide more than enough candidates to reach the economic immigration target. There are about 400,000 students entering Canada every year and around 100,000 ITAs issued each year. Even if they give all the ITAs to those with Canadian education, there will still be 300,000 students with canadian education left over from each year.

But most of these ITAs are given to students with canadian work experience which lowers the total number of students that qualify,
That is very true. However keep in mind that every student is given an open work permit valid for upto 3 years when s/he can work for any employer in Canada to gain the Canadian work experience upon successful completion of their Canadian study. So every one of those students have the potential to gain the Canadian work experience few years down the line. Students who came to Canada a few years ago are now completing their Canadian work experience now, and the same will happen every year.
