Several postsecondary leaders have shared their reactions to the Government of Canada’s recently tabled Budget 2025. Representatives from institutions such as the University of Calgary and University of Victoria lauded how the investments will attract international talent to Canada. The leaders of institutions such as Camosun College, the University of Manitoba, and the University of Winnipeg mentioned that further decreases to international student numbers will impact their financial situation. “What we’re seeing is, this is the new environment in Canada,” said UManitoba President Michael Benarroch. “The drop in international students is not temporary, not just for a year, but this is what we can expect going into the future.”
