There are huge risks associated with counting on international tuition: There is no guarantee that foreign students will continue to enroll over the coming years.

A commentary by the author of The World’s Campus: Canada is a leader in attracting international students. That’s changing the country — for better and for worse.

Canada has been very successful in attracting international students in the past decade. More than 800,000 are here every year. However, international education is competitive, with other English-speaking countries like Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States vying for students. External economic and political events can dramatically reduce the number of international students coming to Canada. The Asian financial crisis in 1997 caused the Korean won to fall dramatically in value, making it too expensive for families to send their children to Canada to study; the Korean student market collapsed almost overnight.

The ability of Canadian colleges like Camosun to attract international students is highly dependent on the federal government’s immigration policies.
