While this is asinine it's not as bad as other programs to ensure quotas. At least they don't lower the bar for these people and force them into programs that they are not ready for while also devaluing the degree.

I have to say though: If you need a lottery to decide who can and cannot participate your standards are too low. These programs cost a lot of time and (and since this is canada presumably also tax-) money, so you'd want only the best fits, no?
