The other thing that was happening was that money was being laundered. A foreign “student”(who pays a larger tuition) would enroll in a school, pay tuition with dirty money(whose source was not scrutinized by schools not equipped to do so), then would withdraw from courses, enabling them to get “clean” money back from the school a month or so later. The RCMP has been trying to track, and prosecute this for years. I would guess that their input was one of the things that was considered when student visa numbers were lessened.
