The article said Mr Wang chose Vancouver because he hoped to settle here. As a master's degree from Northeast is apparently a respected qualification, and given our demographics it seems like a reasonable choice. It's likely he wasn't aware of Vancouver's sinophobes, but fortunately there aren't too many of them.

LOL, a predictable response. Yes, Northeastern has a long and storied history at their main campus in Boston. In Vancouver they date back all the way to.... the opening of Deloitte Summit.
So yes, they're a notch above Happy Golden Maple College but it is clear they set up here to take advantage of the abuses your beloved NDP are targetting with the new rules for the provincial nominee program.
It would be fascinating to know how much of our office space is taken up with all these colleges and "universities".
