As international enrolment decreases, some postsecondary institutions are focused on growing their domestic enrolment. Université de Moncton has reportedly recorded its highest enrolment in over 30 years this fall thanks to domestic student increases. UMoncton President Denis Prud’Homme attributed this increase to high school recruitment efforts and the quality of instruction. The Windsor Star states that St Clair College has boosted its domestic student numbers by increasing enrolment in popular programs such as practical nursing, personal support worker, and early childhood education. The University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Polytechnic have seen their domestic enrolment rise enough to result in an overall increase in enrolment. Lethbridge Polytech Registrar Marko Hilgersom noted that the nursing and health care aide programs have had particularly strong growth.
