I'm glad to hear that the American schools in EC are insisting that students meet the same requirements as their parent institutions. I can't comment on whether CNA-Q has this standard but I can say that if it does, then there is no point in ever hiring a graduate from CNA-NL since they are definitely NOT ready for an entry level position in the western job market. I wonder what approach the University of Calgary will take--that is an institution with a very solid reputation and (I think) operates outside of the QF mandate.
The biggest problem is the culture of "entitlement" that the nationals have come to expect. Even expat students (who should have no expectation of entitlement) are drawn into this when they see scholarships and prizes intended only for nationals and all their hard work not adequately recognized or affirmed.
Still, it is good to have expats in these post-secondary programs. They really help raise the bar in the classroom and serve to model some good study skills.
