How Latin America is adapting to Canada’s changing international student program: Opinion

In an article for The Pie News, Polly Nash discusses how Canada’s evolving international student program is impacting Latin America. Nash notes that Latin American students comprise a minority (7%) of Canada’s international student population, but demand from the region–especially Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia–has significantly increased from 2012 to 2022. The author writes that though Canada’s international study permit cap has caused confusion in international markets, some Latin American partner institutions are adapting by emphasizing research collaborations rather than student mobility initiatives. Additionally, other partner institutions have highlighted the potential for virtual partnerships and programs, given that Canada and many Latin American countries share similar time zones.
