What we need is a clear approach to not only international students but to our immigration policy. We need understanding if the community has the resources and the need. Because of the employment opportunities, those who have multiple options do not choose Canada (housing, inflation, low salaries).
With more and more automation, the need for more people is less and less.
Take the mismanaged and bloated gun buy back program (67 million spent and growing with zero to show for it) since it won’t actually do anything and set up a task force/office for deportation and cleanup of not just international students but all those that have overstayed there permitted welcome.
Step 1. Vote out federal government that allowed them all here in the first place.
Get rid of Ford and the grifting will end. Ontario let 80% of students. Downloading cost of offering education onto the backs of students and their families.
Ontario is not the only province with international student problems, they just happen to have the most problems, the provincial government needs to pressure Ottawa to reduce foreign student numbers, cut funding to institutions that have in excess of 30% foreign students and illuminate all funding if over 60%, this would be per class not student population
Honestly, I feel bad for the innocent people who will lose their jobs because of others’ greed but maybe we should let businesses fail and have landlords left without the cash cow of 6 people sharing a basement? Maybe colleges and universities should manage their money better instead of importing money?
Let’s just acknowledge publicly that this was only ever about greed/wealth preservation and anything else, good or bad as a result, was just tagging along for the ride or a scapegoat/distraction.
One thing this whole scam has taught me is that Canada is very very far from a free market. Competition, a real job market, etc. are all manipulated by a few and most Canadians are too aloof and comfortable to bother pushing back. I really don’t give a shit what foreign corporations come here as long as it’s taking a slice of the pie away from the existing oligopolies so they actually have to try. They’ve become too entitled to our money it’s disgusting
There’s a lot of confusion about Ontario’s international student problem.
People keep pointing fingers at private institutions, but private institutions account for only a tiny minority of the international students. It’s really public institutions that have been abusing the system to its limits. The two biggest institutions in Ontario, accounting for the bulk of international students is Conestoga with 31 thousand + and Centennial with nearly 15 thousand.
With the ministry of immigration’s new regulations, the number of international students are already dropping by half to 120 thousand (so 2018 levels). As some of the long term policies start hitting, I expect the number to drop further, perhaps to around 2016 levels (85 thousand).
As for what would the schools do? There’s a long term trend in declining domestic enrollment, just close a few man….
Send them all back to where they came from Problem solved
