Universities Canada has issued a statement welcoming a review from the federal Auditor General of Canada’s international student program. Universities Canada says that the review offers “an opportunity to strengthen oversight, reinforce integrity and rebuild public confidence.” The organization further emphasized the importance of international students to Canada and encouraged the creation of a roundtable that would bring together governments, employers, and postsecondary institutions to collaborate on an immigration strategy. “Canada can lead the world in education, innovation and opportunity,” reads the release. “Universities are ready to be part of the solution and to help build a system Canadians can all be proud of.”
