Government of Québec Immigration, Francization, and Integration Minister Jean-Francois Roberge tabled a bill last week to limit the number of international students in the province, reducing it from the current level of 120,000. According to the Montreal Gazette, the bill would give QC the power to set limits on international enrolment at individual institutions and would require international students to take specific courses. Both Francophone and Anglophone universities have expressed concerns about the bill. Université du Québec President Alexandre Cloutier emphasized the role international students play in supporting regional development and contributing to postsecondary research.
