Several organizations have called on the Government of Canada to adjust its policies to better support postsecondary institutions and international students. Christopher Worsick (CD Howe Institute) outlined a plan that Canada could use to bolster its economy by welcoming international students in greater numbers. In an article for Policy Options, Pari Johnston (Colleges and Institutes Canada) highlighted the negative impacts of Canada’s international student policy changes and outlined four steps that Canada could take to “course correct.” Hannah Hunter, Wasiimah Joomun, and Ahmad Baker (Canadian Alliance of Student Associations) called on the federal government to change its immigration evaluation system to better recognize and reward international students for attaining a Canadian education.
