Because they're humans, just like you.

So what does that mean?

It means they can choose to go to school wherever they want and don't have to be restricted to certain countries due to their ethnicity.

So my question is why wouldn’t they want to attend a university that more aligns with their values?

Maybe Canada DOES more align with their values? You know virtually nothing about these people.

If you think Arab Universities are less than Western ones that sounds just a little racist to me.

Yeah, keep trying to hide your own blatant bigotry by randomly accusing me of it and shoving arguments in my mouth. I'm not the one saying "Arabs should the stay out because they're Arabs". That would be you.

He's pointing out the blatant bigotry in original statement.

A PhD is not a standard university degree. It's a research apprenticeship that takes place over multiple years around a specific question/research group. Even if a particular school is better (by some magazine's questionable ranking system), someone might choose to go to the "worse" school if the research of a particular supervisor is aligned with their background.

As per this article, our schools have identified that these particular students have backgrounds that are in line with the placements that they applied to, enough so that some of the students are fully funded so that they can come here and help push the work forward.

But I'm pretty sure you understand this already, and are choosing to sealion anyway. This explanation is for anyone else that comes across this thread. I'm applying a temporary ban so you can think about how you should speak about other human beings.
