Germany’s overhaul of their immigration system added 3/5th credit to citizenship for foreign students doing university in their country. If you do a 3 year bachelor’s, then a 2 year masters it puts you only two years working from permanent residency. It’s a brilliant move to help highly educated people get connected then prove their commitment to the nation on a path to permanent citizenship.
You need that extra time, or you have the issue Vancouver has where international students with no given Canadian income own something like 30% of the city’s luxury housing.

They would have to do something different than 3/5 in the USA, that fraction has a bad history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise
