Ottawa's international student cap hurting Atlantic universities: association
The Association of Atlantic Universities says federal restrictions have left schools with 3,000 fewer international students and cut enrolment by nearly 48%.
- On Wednesday, The Association of Atlantic Universities reported a nearly 48 per cent drop in international student enrollment since the Canadian federal government imposed restrictions in 2024.
- A federal government decision to cap international student permit applications over two years aimed to stabilize growth, prompting the restrictions that now affect Atlantic universities.
- The Association reports 3,000 fewer international students enrolled compared to last year, with regional universities and communities suffering from the resulting decrease.
- Ava Czapalay, The CEO of the association, says reductions are hurting small businesses and community organizations since many international students work and volunteer where they study.
- Facing an aging workforce and a recent population decline, Atlantic Canada needs to support talented newcomers who want to study and live in the region, Czapalay emphasizes.
