- Leaders from all three post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan (University of Regina, University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Polytechnic) discuss how this cap will impact campuses, communities and the province as a whole.
In our Saskatoon studio is Thevi Panther, associate Vice-President International (Sask Polytechnic)
In our Regina studio is Isabelle Dostaler, University of Regina Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
And joining us on the line is Professor Airini, Provost and Vice-President Academic at the University of Saskatchewan.
We want to know what you think, join us in the comments or email us at bluesky@cbc.ca
CBC seems to not understand the issue. It is not about housing for the students, it is about the housing left over for Canadians after the influx of international students and all immigration. Too bad they only care to interview one size of the debate
If the cap on international students is 350,000 don’t forget about the family that they bring over. So double that at least.
We need to take care of Canadian born citizens first , if “ international students” who attend strip mall colleges take up all the housing and apartments what’s left for us ?
We need a mature /honest discussion about immigration.
At the same time, provincial governments have to do their part to increase funding to its universities, or risk hearing more of them experiencing financial troubles in addition to Laurentian, Queen's, Cape Breton, and Saint Mary's.
One of the students requested federal government to find another strategy. Hoe about this? Scenario 1: we dont cap international students, and no international students ever get their work visa and PR. If they want their PR, return to your home country and apply again but for PR.
Cannot let people buy their PR.
I am from an Indian immigrant family from decades ago and even we don't want to see little India here. Why Canada is doing this is simply mind-boggling. The housing crisis in the small town we live in is because of Indians buying and flipping or renting the houses here driving out generations of Canadian families. Most of the lower wage jobs here are filled with Indians who don't live here, buy things here and don't really contribute to the community. I love the fact that International students come here and study and I love diversity in my life but I am old now, and I went to the university campus not far from here and it is almost 40% international students. Something is wrong and money, of course, is involved.
How about no international students if they are turning down Canadian students. There should not be a two tier system based on money. They would take the money over our Canadian kids every time.
They should put a cap on it. Im pretty sure that most of these International "students" have one thing on their minds. Permanent residency. It's a way for them to get their foot in the door, then many more family members are to follow.
Should limit all Internationals from a few countries i can think of........... off the top of my head. Southern Ontario is being completely over run.,
Excellent news! But leave it to CBC to cry over the international scammer studetns
30k for fees 18k for rent 12k for clothes and food that's 60k minimum a year and I ask if I had 60k a year what I'm doing in Canada, I can live like a king in Indian
Good stay in India😂
@@rohanutep81 I'm not Indian
If Saskatchewan is so concerned about this are they willing to house all the students? Are they willing to increase provincial funding for housing and health care to deal with the increase in population?
Colleges and Universities are only concerned about their profits and they could care less about how it impacts Canada as a whole.
Are Colleges and Universities for profit?
Do they even have shareholders to pay dividends to?
Thank you. They absolutely 💯 won't do that. They only care about the money 💰
you're being silly if you think these people represent the general consensus in Saskatchewan. the most conservative province.
Maybe if provincial governments provided more funding for universities, or at least partially lift annual tuition increase caps, they wouldn't have to resort to recruiting international students.
Many universities in Canada are now struggling financially due to funding cuts or freezes from provincial governments or have redundant programs, notably Laurentian University in Sudbury, Queen's University in Kingston, Cape Breton University in Sydney, and even Saint Mary's University (my Alma Mater) in Halifax.
In the case of Saint Mary's University, they used to be one of Canada's best managed universities.
However, over the last several years, Saint Mary's University have been struggling financially due to funding freezes and annual tuition increase limits from the Nova Scotia Government, escalating operating costs, competition with private and public colleges, and declining enrollment.
Things have got so bad at Saint Mary's University that they were forced to impose a hiring freeze, limit travel and hospitality, attrition (meaning not filling positions), and even a hard decision to close The Language Centre and leaving a relatively new building unfilled.
@@seanwhitehall4652 Yes. they are. Many plasces that advertize as not for priofit very much are and it's still a fact that we simply cannot sustain this immigration level.
Lets face it we all know 95% of the students go to Brampton, Surrey and Richmond, it wont impact Saskatchewan at all
'Dont blame international students so much. Its other immigration too'. Ok bro. You arent making the argument you think you are.
Less crime, cheaper housing
I was hoping some provinces will be spared from this disastrous program that has ruined Ontario , I hope Saskatchewan and other not yet over ran provinces will act before it is too late. The sad fact is these are not students but unskilled economic migrants gaming the system to get PR who won't contribute much to increase productivity other than compete for fewer resources like housing and entry level jobs,
Wait, we will have homes, more affordable housing and less crime?
LETS GOOOO
stop it all
Stop refugees til the housing situation is fixed also. Like MORE LOW INCOME HOUSING IS NEEDED.
OK who is going to build it. We need workers to build housing
Next we have to have a serious conversation with people who are popping so many babies...contain yourselves better guys, get a different hobby😉
Grapes are sour.. Students don't want to come, they release, it is expensive and Canadian education does not give them jobs, in Canada too. However, it is better in long run for Canada too.
Food banks, climate crisis.....I know: taxpayer funded journalism 😅
I am all for immigrating legally. But Canada knew very well of its aging population and had over two decades to taper an influx of immigrants in a controlled way and in the last number of years this looks like panicked replenishment in the name of labour shortage and shrinking tax base. This was the reckless scenario for saturated the country too quickly overwhelming all the health services and social services and of course housing everyone-there was a better way.
Moe cuts by the Moe rons
"canada" did not cap anything. instead, it was the decision of one individual. but yeah, anyways...anything to keep provinces and territories held hostage somehow.
what?
It is not immigration it is about exploitation. Stop showing dreams to people start acting. There is enough population in Canada who are young and educated get them employment pay them well. Reduce the retirement age to 60 and kick the old out to have some life for themselves while they have some energy. This will creat happiness and productivity and young generation will support their elderly by putting more enthusiasm and energy into the job. Now no wants to stay in Canada they are coming for only one advantage take citizenship and look for green pasture outside. Canada need to rethink of Canadian dream for all that came here or want to come but not the citizenship sale country.
International students are here to fund Canadian economy. It is the construction of housing needs to keep up. But instead, they decided to get rid of the students along with a big chunk of funding that came with them... This self harming behaviour is dumb and is gonna hurt Canadians in the long term. The money international students brought to Canada not only enough to support all of the housing projects, but also enough to stimulate local economy. If you want to limit the population growth, you can just tighten the criterias of becoming a permanent resident. You know, to be frankly, the smart way is to limit their stay after they already spent money for a few years here, not before... and don't forget to keep tabs on the housing constructions because we need them fast.
You guys are not helping the economy because there is are more and more people who are homeless . People can't afford to buy food now so clearly your money isn't doing nothing for the economy
Hello there. I am among the aspiring International student from East Africa.
After a very extensive research, I am settling to apply to Saskatchewan University for the fall semester,2024.
As a policy person myself, i was concerned about the hike of tuition for a 12 months Masters program by 100% at once. May be, that would have been done incremental.
Now, one has to go back to the drawing board to adjust thier budget, this might affect many students who might reconsider their move study in Canada.
I chose Canada for its quality in graduate studies. I am interested in becoming a Researcher on matters Politics, social, law and governance.
dont come
there are no jobs here. stay where you are
There are more than 100 jobs posted every day, it all depends on whether one is qualified or not. Labour Criss in Agriculture, health, IT and Constructions. Check this👇
"Canada's food and beverage manufacturing industry is facing a massive labour shortage in the coming years, according to a recent report. The industry will be employing 325,000 by 2030, up from the roughly 300,000 it employed in 2022"
Canada will come down to its knees soon… 😂
Good luck freezing inCanada ..NB -14 today and getting colder
We have no jobs in Canada for the educated ..fact ..no housing either ..
Wouldnt it be cool if actual canadians could buy a house? You guys literally don't have a clue what this really is about.
