Canadian colleges, universities warn of ‘long-lasting consequences’ from international student cap

Largely self-serving arguments:

Colleges and universities are urging the federal government to continue processing international study permits and modify the hard cap on students intake, warning of the “widespread and long-lasting consequences” this may cause.

“Faced with uncertainty, these students are likely to choose alternative destinations, posing a significant risk to Canada’s post-secondary sector and hindering our efforts to attract global talent for years to come,” Universities Canada and Colleges and Institutes Canada said in a joint letter to Immigration Minister Marc Miller on Tuesday.

“The policy’s impact extends far beyond institutions, affecting businesses and communities.”
