An interesting quote from the article: oh boy!
"In his essay, U.S. academic Vernon Briggs questions the quality of university education in certain immigrant-source countries. Very few Third World nations have elite universities, he writes, noting that only one institution from outside the industrialized world, the State University of Moscow, is on the list of the top 100 universities.
"The only way to ensure that the immigrants chosen will do better is to be more selective," Briggs writes. "If Canadian universities chose foreign students the way (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) selected immigrants, half their classes would flunk out."
