Price, Wx, perception that it's nicer than the USA....
I think also some of the schools imply (if not openly claim) that jobs like cattle mustering are easy to walk into for your 105 hour CPL (is it 105 hour or am I remembering somewhere else?).
They also don't mention the gap in hours between CPL and Flight Instructing.
I know at least one guy who just saw the CPL price, compared it to other countries, found it to be cheaper, and then discovered the hard way, that the CPL wasn't going to be enough...
