International students are concerned about fee increases and future in Canada
The fall term in Canadian colleges and universities will start in a few away. Many international students voice concerns about the influence of the COVID-19 on their tuition. For instance, a group of international students from the University of Toronto established the International Student Advocacy Network (ISAN) to advocate their rights in communication with university officials. ISAN representatives stated the toll COVID-19 is taking on them, as their fees, is disproportionately higher than on domestic students. For instance, Sheridan College reduced tuition fees by 10% for domestic students, but increased fees for international students by 3%. The disproportionally high fees for international students in the long term may damage the attractiveness of study in Canada for foreign students.
