I have heard of people trying to migrate through programs like express entry but when they are short on points, they seek post graduate or masters degree to gain more points for Canadian PR. I rejectly came across 216(1) when searching about study permits and through this subreddit: "I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in Subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit."
This seems similar to how the US F1 student visa is non immigrant intent as well. Then how do people apply for express entry and then apply for a study permit, it seems like the officer/system would know ones intent? Its like how someone applies for a green card and then applying for a F1 visa, it would be denied.
