Canada Global(Web News) Immigration Minister Mark Miller said that if no action is taken by the provinces against schools suspected of unfairly taking advantage of the International Student Program, the federal government will close them. Will come next.
Outside Parliament Hill ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting, Miller said there are some problems in the college sector but some private institutions are making mistakes from time to time and it is time to close such schools. He said it is the province’s responsibility to address all issues facing the post-secondary sector in relation to international students. But if they don’t do their job, Ottawa will have to.
It is worth noting that the sharp increase in foreign student enrollment forced the government to review the International Student Program and forced the Liberals to limit new study permits for the next two years. Last year, 900,000 foreign students held Canadian study visas, triple the number of students a decade ago.
