Canada's international student policy faces critical challenges as experts call for comprehensive reforms

A new policy brief by Dr. Lisa Ruth Brunner reveals that Canada's once-lauded international education system is now facing significant scrutiny due to fragmented governance and overreliance on student tuition revenues. The research identifies key issues, including inadequate policy coordination, institutional funding dependency, declining public support, and unclear pathways to permanent residency, that leave students vulnerable. To restore Canada's reputation and ensure sustainable growth, the brief recommends implementing a collaborative cross-sectoral strategy, increasing public investment in higher education, establishing transparent immigration pathways, and strengthening regulatory oversight of recruitment practices.
