Two colleges in New Brunswick are pointing out flaws in the changes to the rules around work permits for international students that the federal government introduced last week.
Last week, Ottawa announced it is further reducing the number of people it welcomes into Canada by reducing its intake cap on international student study permits for the next two years. By next year, the government will issue 437,000 international student study permits, down 10% from the 2024 target of 485,000 new study permits issued.
Reducing the number of international students coming into Canada did not come as a surprise, says New Brunswick Community College (CCNB) CEO Mary Butler.
