The Association of Atlantic Universities has released its 2025-2026 Preliminary Survey of Enrolments, which show the full-time and part-time enrolments at each university in Atlantic provinces as of October 2025. The association celebrated the 4% rise in full-time first-year students. However, AAU pointed to the heavy impact of the federal government’s international student cap: International student enrolments have declined by 28% year-over-year. “Atlantic Canada and our universities have been disproportionately hurt by the federal government’s ‘cap’ placed on international students aspiring to pursue higher education in our region,” said AAU Chair and University of New Brunswick President Dr Paul Mazerolle.
