SFU, UBC reopen applications for US citizens applying to graduate programs

Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia have reopened applications for American graduate program applicants. According to CBC, some American students are expressing interest in Canadian postsecondary education amid the rising tensions between the US government and US postsecondary institutions. The Vancouver Sun reports that UBC is reopening admissions for the duration of this week and will fast-track admissions for US citizens hoping to begin their studies in September; SFU is reopening applications from April 16-25. “We in Canada have to live with the tariffs, but the silver lining for us is that there has been much more cross-border interest,” said UBC Provost and VP of Academics Gage Averill.
