Immigration minister says struggling universities must ask provinces for help

Canada's Immigration Minister, Lena Diab, stated that universities and colleges must seek provincial financial support due to federal cuts in the international student program.
The number of international students in Canada dropped from over one million at the start of 2024 to about 700,000 by November 2025, as mentioned by Diab.
Diab reported that the influx of newcomers, including international students, created unsustainable pressure on health care, housing, and other services.
Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador announced plans to cut spending by $25 million, including selling buildings, due to the decline in international enrollment.
