Meanwhile, every Indian national that I've worked with located in the US, which has very strong filtering for Indians, has been extremely competent.
One of the big challenges with Indian outsourcing companies is that, as a rule, they have very high turnover: they hire new grads at low salaries and people job-hop between companies to get to better jobs. And, yes, this applies to the expensive ones, too. So, you might have people working on your project that have five years of experience, but it's at five different companies, and they never had time to learn anything in depth. Anyway, we're a bit off the topic of housing now ...
As for filtering, I agree with you conceptually but I don't know how we could make that happen in practice. The colleges have an incentive to fill available spaces, and the student visas are available as long as the program qualifies. Maybe the provincial government would need to limit the number of spaces in those programs, which would then cause the college to filter for the best students?
Ideally the colleges should be rewarded for people good enough to get (real) employment and qualify for a PR, and penalized for ones that go home, but I don't know that there is a practicable scheme that could be implemented for that.
