Managing the incoming influx of international students: Editorial

Postsecondary institutions need to prepare to manage a future influx of international students, writes Meti Basiri of ApplyBoard. Basiri describes how there has recently been a huge increase in the applications submitted to postsecondary institutions in Canada, with students who had deferred their studies creating a double cohort effect. Many students are still interested in remote learning, and the author encourages institutions to create engaging remote learning experiences. Basiri also recommends that institutions use a variety of techniques to manage the wave of students, including becoming more active in the international student market, prioritizing student support during the application process, and developing long-term remote or hybrid delivery offerings to grow enrolment.
