Université du Québec à Montréal Recteur Stéphane Pallage has called on the Government of Canada and Government of Québec to abolish their respective international student caps or offer exemptions. Pallage asserted that the message being heard around the world is that QC wants fewer international students, creating uncertainty among prospects. He further noted QC’s desire to improve French-language usage in the province’s capital and asked who would be better positioned than UQAM to welcome Francophone and Francophile students from around the world to Montréal. He urged the governments to regard universities as places of francization and integration that can attract the best minds in the world.
