As a result of Mr Trump going after universities and foreign students, especially Canadian students, the door swung back open. For example, in https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/graduate-student.html PhD students are guaranteed a go/no-go decision in two weeks.

Governments are slow, slow, slow ... until they become lightening-fast.
