In a letter to Justin Trudeau, Colleges Ontario president Marketa Evans wrote that the government’s plan ‘appears to assume that only those with university credentials can contribute to Canada’
The impact of federal government changes to the international student program is starting to be felt at colleges across the country as they prepare for multimillion dollar revenue declines and deal with what they describe as a diminished national brand that’s hurting recruitment.
A decline in revenue will threaten the sustainability of programs that also serve domestic students, she said, including engineering fields, early childhood education and dental hygiene. In a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week, Colleges Ontario president Marketa Evans wrote that the government’s plan “appears to assume that only those with university credentials can contribute to Canada.”
In British Columbia, applications from international students for the January intake are down 60 to 90 per cent across the publicly funded college network, according to Colin Ewart, president of BC Colleges. He said cost-saving measures such as program closings and pauses to capital projects are anticipated but have not yet been announced.
