Lack of international students may shake the Canadian economy
While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought every sector to a temporary halt, the international students’ sector is also not untouched. Although Canadian Universities have issued admissions for the next academic semester starting in September, international students are in dismay because of delays in visa processing and restrictions on international travel. Last year, more than 642,000 students were studying in Canadian Colleges and Universities and a large number of them were from India. Economists believe that a sharp drop in the arrival of new International students may create problems for the Canadian economy. Government figures indicate that international students contribute up to $21 Billion to the Canadian economy annually.
