So you're basically clueless about the vast majority of foreign students, the bulk of whom don't go to universities, let alone for graduate programs. Like I said, you're out of touch by almost a decade.

Again. You seem to have no idea how this works. Graduate from a 1 yr program and you get a 2 yr work permit. And if you get enough "experience" in your field, it allows you to apply for PR. Ironically, this rule actually favours the most generic certificates. It's much harder to get qualifying experience as an electronics technician or machine learning specialist than it is as a "business administrator".

This program should not exist to feed the diploma mill type institutions.

You keep acting like this mostly a diploma mill problem. The government's own stats show this is not. The majority of these students are going to public colleges and universities. And the majority of these crap 1-2 yr programs are run by these institutions.
The federal government is happy to facilitate this. That's why they are talking about cracking down on diploma mills. It's good distraction for easy marks like you, ready to believe this is only a small problem of a few bad apples than systemic policy failure.
Indeed, everybody benefits but the average Canadian. Faculty and admin staff benefit from the feds. And many of them benefit through real estate investment (as Prof Mike Moffat pointed out in his criticism of faculty association voting down student housing policy proposals). Employers benefit from suppressed wages. Real estate owners benefit from buoyant demand. The average Canadian though? We get more competition for work, for a home and even for groceries.

You have been trolling at this point with how clueless you are. You can't be serious.
They aren't coming here to be TFWs. What part of path to residency do you not understand? Or do you seriously believe somebody moves half a world away to simply work for 6 months as an Uber driver? Come on now.
