International students face a sudden fee increase
Some Canadian universities have significantly raised their tuition fees for international students – a move critics say could force some to quit and leave Canada. Many international students feel frustrated as the fee increase is unfair in the middle of a global pandemic when courses are taught online, and while students are struggling financially due to economic slowdown. For instance, the University of Toronto has increased tuition for international undergraduate students for the summer semester by an average of 5.4%! Graduate students face an increase of 4.2%. These costs will remain at that level in the fall. International students pay more than domestic students, and, as such, they feel like universities compensate their losses with the students’ money.
