I don't support the original decision either, but the blame does not belong on the immigration officer for following an unreasonably strictly worded rule requiring studies to be "entirely" in French. Yes, most officers don't read this particular rule literally, but immigration rules in general do and should apply literally instead of assuming that officers will always violate what the rule says in favor of contradictory judgment calls. The fix should include replacing "entirely" with whatever they actually mean in the rules for the program. Most similar eligibility criteria in other contexts use phrases like "main language of instruction", some variation of which would work fine.
