Universities Canada CEO Gabriel Miller says that the country is falling behind in the global race to attract the world’s most exceptional students. Miller explains that decreased international enrolment combined with underfunding has negatively affected the postsecondary education system. Postsecondary education leaders have expressed concern that the drop in approved study permits sends mixed messages to some of the most successful international student applicants. “The only way you can build (a national strategy) right now in Canada, is if you get provincial governments and the federal government around the same table,” says Miller.
