Langara bracing for drop in international student enrolment

Langara College is reportedly expecting drastic cuts in enrolment for international students. The Vancouver Sun reports that Langara currently has one of the highest proportions of international students of any public postsecondary institution in BC, but these numbers may soon decrease due to the federal and provincial reforms and policy shifts. Langara President Paula Burns told faculty that there has been a 79% drop in foreign student applications for spring 2025 compared to the same period last year and that applications have fallen 9% for the Fall term. Faculty association members reportedly sent their colleagues a group message in which the enrolment drop was called a “crisis” that “will hit all of us.”
