The pressures of the increasing cost of living in Canada have caused some people to see international students as part of the problem, blaming them for snatching up low-wage jobs and taking advantage of food banks.
But data shows that Canadian post-secondary institutions are financially reliant on international students, and this is especially true in Ontario.
On Nov. 15, the Blue Ribbon Panel on Postsecondary Education Financial Sustainability released a report making recommendations to Ontario’s government on how to improve the financial state of the sector while focusing on student experience. The report makes recommendations in six areas: Funding, international students, financial accountability, cost efficiency and effectiveness, schooling in the north, and French-language education.
