I think Canada is (in many cases) taking advantage of these students, not the other way around.
The only winners are the schools who treat it like a cash cow, and provinces which can skimp on the funding for schools.

And sure, some foreign students benefit from using it as a pathway to residency in a country with better opportunities. Some Canadian residents benefit from lower tuition. A lot of people in these groups get screwed though.
