Boom in international applications turns into admissions at Canadian universities

“Canadian universities will welcome unprecedented numbers of international students this fall, with some institutions seeing jumps of 25 per cent or more in admissions of students from abroad,” writes Simona Chiose for the Globe and Mail. The author notes that within the past year, Canadian institutions have seen double-digit increases in the number of applications from international students. But until recently, institutions and stakeholders were not certain whether these applications would translate into admissions. Chiose notes that this rise in admissions coincides with ambitious internationalization projects being implemented at a number of Canadian schools. “And in some cases,” the author adds, “the rise in international students will plug budget gaps that postsecondary institutions in Ontario and the Maritimes are experiencing as a result of declining domestic enrolment.”
